Have you guys noticed that those beer with higher alcohol seems to taste abit weird compared to the normal ones? I bought a few which are all above 10% alcohol and they taste terrible. Is it because of the higher alcohol? So far the only high alcohol beer i like is Bear Beer which is about 12%.

Define "weird." Alcohol can impart some different flavors, and sometimes too much can really be too much and the beer will take on a sort of solvent quality, but there are many high ABV beers (many Doppelbocks) that balance a sweet maltiness with a spicy alcohol flavor -- or the sweet, unattenuated malts just cover up the alcohol and you get in trouble later.
You could have also bought some beer that's been sitting on the shelves a little too long -- yeah, high ABV beers will turn if not treated right -- or just grow old.

It could also be the beer hasn't aged long enough or that it isn't a style you are used to. What kind of beer is it that tastes "weird" and what is the weird taste like?
