Review
The first glass I had of this fine root beer was served with ice, so I didn't have high hopes (who puts ice in their beer?!). Despite the ice, it turned out to be a wonderful root beer. Not much nose, a little orange-y smell. Very interesting, spicy brew, with lots going on. An almost sage-y taste, with a pleasant spicy aftertaste. This is one of the spiciest root beers I've ever tasted.

Ingredients: Microbreweries rarely give out the ingredients of their root beers, and Scuttlebutt is no exception. It is caffeine free.
Available/Acquired: Only available at the brewery, though you can take home some in a "growler." A pint glass goes for $2.17 with tax.
