Turns out I've never had this one before so I bought one at the local supermarket. Dark brown colour with a medium to large sized beige head. Smells herbs, sweet, liquorice. Tastes sweet, malty, some herbs and spices but not extreme. It's okay. Medium to full body, soft to medium carbonation. Edit: added some points because I finished it and there really isn't anything wrong with it.

Bottle from The Beerhive. Hazy ruby/brown body with a short-lived beige head. Steady carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of toffee, burnt sugar and candy. Flavour of crème brûlée topping, maple syrup and flat Coca-Cola. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Light fizz. Very sweet - probably overly so.

From the tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours black with very persistent whitish foam. Aroma is licorice, malty. Body is dense and sticky with moderate carbonation. Taste is intensely sweet, with limited bitterness. Finish is sweet but not particularly long.

Rocky beige head left flotsam on a still, rich looking dark brown body. Dark fruit, candied fruit, Christmas cake, brown sugar & spicy aroma. Medium to full bodied. Thick, chewy and very smooth on the palate with a very slight sharp finish. Dundee cake, spices, dark spirits, demerara and liquorice tastes with a fruity tangy finish.
