Sea Dog Root Beer

i hate to say it but this barely resembles root beer at all. contains wintergreen, anise, vanilla and other spices that cause a slight mess in my mouth. sort of spicey and sort of herby. but i just don’t enjoy it much. i thank jacque very much for sending it to me, but i must be honest here. ok, so as i finish this i noticed that it has changed tastes and the bottom actually is kind of tasty. i am not sure how the situation could have been rectified, shaking would explode it or whatever. oh well, that top was nasty.
UPDATE: ok, so i got a couple more bottles of this from my buddy Mike M so i am trying it again at the urging of many readers. it is actually rather tasty, not really herby or spicey at all. guess i got a weird bottle last time. it isn’t great, but it is good.

Ingredients: water, cane sugar, caramel coloring, natural and artificial flavors including wintergreen oil, anise, and vanilla, spices, herbs, citric acid, and sodium benzoate as a preservative

S&O’K Root Beer

Available: ME Obtained in: mail from Jacque
Head: Medium Sweetener: sucrose, fructose
Caffeine: No

recommended to me a lot, so thanks a lot to Jacque for getting me a bottle! there is a really weird taste here that i cannot place. sort of bubble-gum-ish but not in a bad way at all. very smooth. creamy. i think i would get sick of the weird other taste after a few bottles but i think to have one bottle every few weeks or so, this would make a great beverage. unique indeed. i suppose Maine is like that though. wacky Maine…
