This beer claimed to be the world strongest beer with an ABV of 65%. On Brewver the ABV is not listed as their are some discrepancies.
After the release of "Snake Venom" of the same brewery in 2013 there was rumor about the ABV of those two beers. They were tested in a laboratory and the result was 22.8% ABV (official: 65% ABV) for Armageddon and 41.1% ABV (official: 67.5% ABV). Later another batch was tested with 67.5% but soon it got official that this was only the reason because pure ethanol was added. Therefore "Snake Venom" often not seen as real beer - and the brewery simply lied about the ABV of Armageddon.

Brewery description:
The world's strongest beer at 65%. Ingredients include crystal malt, wheat, flaked oats and of course 100% Scottish spring water. We then freeze ferment the beer to bring up the ABV. Consume this like a fine whisky.
Despite being 65%, the beer has a lot of flavour - malty, hoppy, slightly sweet and lots of yeast still in the beer. Be careful though, smelling it is probably enough to put you over the limit!
