They are all good - the black ones have a richer taste than the others and I enjoy them, but my personal favorite are the white ones - the vanilla taste just seems right in a jelly bean...
I'm not a fan, but I'd take a black jelly bean over black licorice. Disgusting in my opinion. And Sambuca is the worst alcoholic beverage out there. The taste of black licorice in liquid form. Ewwwww
Ditto.
Black licorice is gross, and the liquefied alcoholic forms are even worse.
I thought white was coconut... maybe that's only jelly belly's though. I tend to get the two confused a lot.
no love for teh Jäger.
shotglass of sambuca, couple of coffee beans, set it ablaze, and drink it down. yummy!
You know what poo tastes like?

Wow, you have quite a resume eh?

I feel like there's some transatlantic mis-understanding going on here. Pastis is nothing to do with licorice - it's an aniseed liquor. We're talking about the stuff that is strong and clear, and goes milky when you add water right?
I have a bottle of Ouzo, and another bottle of Pernod on my shelf, and they're deffo aniseed, not not licorice. Wikipedia tells me that Sambuca is also an aniseed drink.
In the UK, licorice is associated with Bassets Allsorts - various chunky sweets with candy inside and licorice outside.
My local healthfood shop also sells raw licorice twigs, straight from the licorice tree or bush or whatever it is. It's supposed to be the best thing for brushing your teeth with - you use the twig like a toothbrush, and the end goes all frayed and polishes your teeth. I tried it a couple of times. Nice, but the flavour was too strong for me.
I've just come back from Scandinavia, and these places, licorice sweets come with AMMONIA added. I've tried a few, and it burns the roof off your mouth and steamcleans your nostrils on the way out. That's a real man's licorice for you.
BTW ammonia is more commonly used as a toilet cleaner and general disinfectant / household cleaner.

Do you mean Jagermeister?
I do "Jager-bombs" all the time (Red Bull and shot of Jagermeister). Didn't know they were licorice flavour. They certainly don't taste as repulsive as Sambuca.

Yes.
Hey, don't judge me. I was young!!!
Licorice is a treat in small, concentrated doses. Jelly beans are definitely that.
I also like licorice teas.

So I guess the majority of the members here are RACIST!! I guess you would prefer the white ones, huh?
Black power to the jelly beans.
I'm white

They are the most amazing thing ever in the world! I usually have a couple after a black Sambuca or two before bed.
