I dont understand whats written there since I dont speak the language. But someone who can told me there is written that Whiskey is added to that beer. Can someone confirm that?

I think there may be an industry developing for the sales of ultra-low temperature freezer devices for freeze distilling beer. Perhaps you could even build automation into it that would agitate, scoop and remove the ice as it forms. It would be like the "set it and forget it" eisbock maker. This way, labor cost would be minimal. So who wants to invest in my new company?

As I understand it The "Obilix" is a gimmicky "protest beer". The 45% is simply achieved by adding whisky.
The Koelschip brewer, Jan Nijboer, finds the race between Schorschbräu and BrewDog for the world’s strongest beer to be a stupid one as he doesn’t consider the ice distilling to be a "proper" way of brewing beer.
In his opinion "Samichlaus" should be considered the strongest as it reaches its 14% by ordinary fermentation.
Some Dutch or Flemish user please correct me if I’m all wrong.

okay, good to know. So if whiskey is added this beer will not make it in the database, right?

Nijboer adds his own destilled whisky to his strongest beer "Bierexplosie" (13% ABV) to become a 45 % ABV "beer". he also claims that his whisky is so strong that with adding more even a higher ABV is possible.
Question remains if this mix can be called a beer. IMO yes, because radlers and diesels (bottled mix of beer and lemonade and beer and cola) are also on the list.
But I gladly leave this decision to the admins.
Nijboers view is perhaps a bit blurred because he is the sole importer for the Netherlands of Samichlaus beers. And AFA I know, Lang & Kaal and Bommen & Granaten from De Molen reach ABV’s as high as 15 to 16% ABV by "normal" fermentation.

But if this is listed as beer we dont have to wait long for a 70%ABV beer, just added wodka and things like that...

The admin had this discussion a long time ago. From the Admin wiki:
"19th Nov 2004, 26th Mar 2007: Flavoured (fruit, booze, etcetera) Beers
These are OK, same as any other flavoured beers. As long as it’s real beer as the base, it’s kosher. Beer that has been fortified beyond 12% should not be included."
So it’s ok as a flavour, it’s not ok if it’s just to get a huge ABV. In this case, the beer will not be allowed.

You have a point. Just take 10% beer with 10% ABV and 90% Polish Spirit with an ABV of 97%, bottle this and you have a fluid with 88% ABV
One interesting by-aspect of this story. Koelschip got some of its beers from Leuchtturm in Gunzenhausen, just 2 or 3 kilometres from Schorschbräu. Just before and/or after the closure of Leuchtturm, Koelschip moved its portfolio to Maasland in Oss.

You’re correct.
