Review:
Burnt sugar nose. Heavy burnt sugar lead with carbonation bite. Cherry tones in the midrange descending back to burnt sugar. Tiny bubble aftertaste burn, an interesting but unpleasant lingering on my tongue. The mouthfeel killed this one for me. "Not bad for grocery store root beer," says Nancy.
