forced grape is a mean sounding name, but punny.

grapelicious?

i like grapes of wrath myself. i might use that if no one else does first.

no one's ever used wine names like vino, burgundy or lambrusco etc.

huh. the durban poison i tried back around 1995 tasted like straight up licorice. you know, i wonder just how authentic THAT flavor was.
Durban Poison (afaik) IS supposed to smell/taste like licorice. Can't speak from experience except for the Pablo's Cheese x Early Durban I have going...the first female to make trichs smells like straight-up licorice...same thing with the Bubblegum x Mighty Durban.

the one i blazed tasted EXACLY like licorice and not the way blueberry tastes like a single grain or artificial blueberry cereal sugar on your tongue, but like you're literally smoking a stick of licorice. i was disappointed as it had been compared to thai which was still what i thought the trippy columbian gold i started out blazing, but it was no more trippy than most of today's watered down generic hazes. even getting several minutes worth of dry heaves with every hit, i was still happy to blaze it because NOTHING in the streets was getting me high anymore except mexican brick that i'd STILL rather smoke than afghanicrap.

The real Durban poison does taste like anise (licorice). In fact, its famous for that, though some variants have been described as tasting like mint or menthol.

Not only does it have a unique taste, but the real Durban poison is potentially one of the most potent landraces around. High Times magazine just rated one cut of this as a "top ten most potent" strain for 2012, clocking it at over 20% THC. See here at about 1:36:

With that kind of potency potential, its probably called "poison" because its easy to overdose and get all the bad side effects that sativas are known for like heart racing, paranoia, vertigo, and perhaps even nausea.

Its been a few years now, but last time I was in Amsterdam, lots of the coffeehouses had the real deal Durban Poison from Africa on their menus.
