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.
