My friend ordered some from the Netherlands. The kind he got was pretty strong. It had a black licorice flavor and it made the entire inside of your mouth tingle, and no I wasn't on drugs at that time of my life. Last August near end of summer.
Are you sure he didn't just get Jaegermeister? That's pretty much exactly what Jaegermeister is. Good stuff too, and it hits like a train.
And I should probably clarify, you don't get Jaegermeister from the Netherlands. I'm pretty sure it's readily available in the US.
