I've done this one twice with 001 and never got any medicinal or licorice tastes from it - young or aged (4+ months). Did you make any changes to the original recipe?

I've had some brews take 8-12 weeks to fully carb up. Give it couple more weeks. Your patience will be rewarded.

It's really that good AND easy to brew AND economical. I did a 5.5gal PM version for under 20 bucks. Give it a shot, even if you're on the fence.
