Boar? Never done that before but have eaten lots of it.
You're looking at something between pig and venison then on the flavour scale. Garlic and bay leaves are good.
Something like cocoa and juniper berries come to mind for some reason - both are classic venison pairings. Could sweeten that up with molasses? Chillies for some heat to match the cocoa?
Just riffing here. No idea if they would work.
Aroogah-
Had also thought juniper berries, but just not sure if they'd make a very bitter bark - generally they get removed from sauces etc to avoid being bitten into.
Maybe juniper bay and garlic in the brine, and possibly boil juniper and bay to inject it with before cooking.
Possibly salt, pepper, bay leaves, cocoa and a little ground coffee with some sugar.

Any suggestions for a rub for wild boar? I just got a shoulder.
Am thinking of brining with garlic and bay leaves and want a rub to compliment...
