On tap at Electric Bicycle, pours a cloudy dark reddish brown with a small off-white head. Aroma reveals tons of sarsaparilla, with plenty of sweet licorice. Flavour is sweet and herbal in a strangely acceptable way, with lots of sarsaparilla, sweet licorice and herbal notes. I don't get the lactose but I suppose it's responsible for the sweetness. Fun but not what I want to drink.

Golden-brown with a thick nitro head. Lots of liquorice on the nose, and a little bit of vanilla. Sweet and fairly heavy vanilla on the palate, with rough, unrefined anise and liquorice notes. The body is thin - this needs to be creamy and rich to be effective. I don't hate it, but it's clumsy, and Storm made a better one 20 years ago so it's not exactly innovative enough to justify the clumsiness.

Taster at the brewery with Alex a couple of days back. Pours a bit hazy copper with a white head. Aroma and taste are like rootbeer which sucks IMO.

Draught at the brewery
Brown colour, clean. Smells of toothpaste and earthy malts. Moderately sweet, some caramel flavour as base, biscuits, light mint and toothpaste, sugarcane and chocolate.
This kind of beer shouldn't be brewed, but it's not too bad.

Draft - Herbal and aromatic rootbeer. Dirty brown with a small beige head. Rootbeer and nice aromatics. Solid for what it is.
