now, this tastes almost like a cream soda. it has mad vanilla in it. that doesn’t kick in until a second after you have swallowed so it is a bit tricky. a very solid and distinct flavour, this sure is not a guzzling root beer in my book, it is too rich or something. that rad smoke when you open it makes me smile. =)

Tried this root beer yesterday… This is one of the better root beers I’ve tried. Very good root beer. There isn’t anything out of the ordinary for this one… it just had a normal, yet great flavor. It does have a kind of smooth-vanilla taste to it. Nothing really weird that I could detect. It has a very very slight bitter flavor in the after taste…. but I am a stickler for bitter flavors in sodas. I have to say that this may crack the top ten list for my favorite root beers (with Sprecher as #1). The fact that this root beer now comes made with cane sugar might be why I rate this root beer 7 points higher than what you rated it. I recommend trying this one again. This is a 91.
