Us Swedes are a little obsessed with liquorice, in all it’s glorious forms! Sweet or salty, on ice cream, in our red wine sauses, and yes, in beer. Here is our homage to this most delicious of roots: a massively sweet dessert stout with real liquorice and a touch of vanilla.

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours dark brown, almost black, with fine brown foam, compact. Aroma is intense, of chocolate mostly, plus some licorice and molasses, a little coffee. Body is fairly dense, very sticky and smooth, with soft tickling carbonation. Taste is intensely sweet, though with good underlying roastiness. Final is looong, sweet and chocolatey.

330ml can. Pours jet black with a large head. Aroma is liquorice, cakey vanilla and roast. Taste vanilla sponge cake throughout with a boozy, roasty liquorice finish.

Black beer, good tan head. Smells sweet and boozy with a little liquorice. Flavour is heavy on the liquorice, which isn't really to my taste. There's vanilla in here too, some sweet fruit, a touch of booziness and it's got a lovely smooth, rich body. It's not really for me but that's personal taste. If you like a big sweet stout and enjoy liquorice I think you'd like this a lot.

Can from Gedeelde Vreugde. Cloudy black, small, foamy, beige head. Aroma of salty liquorice, fudge, milk chocolate, mint, black tea, raisin, fig, biscuit. Taste has very sweet raisin, fig & plum, sweet-salty liquorice next to fudge & chocolate, slightly bitter herbal edge. Herbal hoppy finish, edge of vanilla, bit woody, ending quite salty courtesy of the liquorice again, with some warming liqueur alcohol. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Flavourful to say the least, yet too salty for me and too little roast.
