not to be confused with Black Cow Root Beer, which i don’t think exists anymore anyhow. this one is actually much tastier. the weird thing is, i don’t really taste the vanilla so much and i don’t find it all that creamy (cremey? nah…). it has a slight liquorice taste at first but that quickly passes and i get an almost cane sugar taste, 2 ingredients that are not listed. wackier still. a good amount of carbonation. i really am partial to root beers that are available in the 32 oz size. makes me laugh and recall days of acting silly with 32s of root beer in paper bags at college. alas. so yeh, i like this but it doesn’t stand out. probably the best i’ve had that comes in a 32 though.
Ingredients:water, high fructose corn sweetener, caramel color, natural and artificial flavors, phosphoric acid, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate as a preservative

i got a keg of this for my friend mike’s birthday several years ago and it was quite tasty so i was excited to get to try it again. yup, tastes about the same. very very minty, wintergreen. yummy. i love wintergreen. the funny thing about getting a keg of root beer was we had like a month to get it back to them before we lost the deposit so it stayed in mike’s room for the whole time and was always good. never finished it i don’t think. oh well. anyhow, this is pretty good. a little over carbonated maybe but that is not so bad. this is probably the best soda i have had in a can.

i had very high hopes for this soda since the regular canned birch beer was so good. but, sadly, the diet version kinda stinks. that awful aspertame taste is there making everything bitter and just ruining it. not really minty at all, the flavor does not seem to even resemble the regular version. it barely resembles birch beer in fact. oh well. stick with some other brand i suppose if you have to have a diet drink.

ok, so i bought this, i don’t even know how long ago. i was looking on the shelves in my basement for sodas i had gotten recently but not reviewed and i came upon this. think i must have reviewed it long ago, i thought i may as well check. lo and behold i had not! i think “well, cans are supposed to last a long time, so why not…” yeh, here i go. ok, not bad. generic and not terribly flavorful even. i suppose the metal has begun to break down into the soda but i think canned sodas usually taste a little like that. i am probably more aware of it with this can. i think i will just stop drinking now before i die of aluminium poisoning or some such thing. it is alright but not great. even for a generic soda.
