Review
I was put off by the fact that the root beer arrived in a big plastic glass full of ice, but was won over by the sweet sweet root beer. Not much nose. Very creamy and sweet, ultra smooth. Not much carbonation, this is a very round root beer. It tastes like a root beer float, although there is no ice cream in it. Heavy vanilla taste is very nice. The downside is there is not much rootiness going on here -- just slight hints around the edges. Not a lot of aftertaste, a little vanilla. I bet kids love this one.
