It reminds me of SG London brown but with citrus. Black, coarse, and moist. I like it, but the drip is bitter.
Not as heavy as London Brown (which is Black Rappee under another name, Bob Gregory from Samuel Gawith told me himself), but I would certainly class it as a rappee. I love it. WoS Burgundy is similar (to me, anyway), as is F&T Santo Domingo, but neither quite has that special something Best Dark has, which must be why it’s Best!
It certainly has a certain something. I really like the smell from the tin. Too heavy for regular use but definitely a keeper.
Another you would almost certainly like would be Brunswick, I really regret only getting 10g of that one.
Ok cheers Horus92. Brunswick will go on my “to try” list.
Best Dark is one of my favourites, and one I can comfortably use all day
I forgot to say, outside on a cold, crisp morning the scent takes on extra dimensions. Lovely!
Yes, i really like it, and as i can do big pinches will be reordering soon.
Just got some Best Dark … i like it …but i swear it smells of gin…but only when i open the mason jar its in…airs out a lil in the can i decant to
