I guess I'm missing something. What does "darkness" or hop level have
to do with alcohol content?

I've never seen that book around here, and i would prefer not to order it
for a single recipe. I know, i know reprinting without permission is bad,
but still.

Since when do overly bitter and/or overly dark beers mean that it has
a high level of alcohol...???
Pop open a typical Belgian Tripple (e.g. Affligem), and you'll find
you have a glass of beer that is very pale in color (~5 SRM), fairly
low in biterness (~ 20-ish IBU's), and about %8.5 ABV...!
.

Just a shame that I've only seen Old Specked Hen being sold in clear
bottles. The very few bottled OSH's I've seen around these parts (San
Diego) have been skunked.
(It *is* an awesome beer on tap though!)

Yeah, i went to a local shop and saw a ton of them sitting in the front
window ... Went in the back and found a sealed case that was great.
See if you can get a case of 12 sealed and they should be great. I don't
understand why they put good beers like OSH, Newcastle etc in clear
bottles..
