22oz bomber to snifter. Dark brown: looks and smells like root beer; head sparse and quickly gone. Only my second mead. After the root beer aroma, I expected a soda pop taste...yes, the root beer and some sweetness hits the palate, but quickly changes to a wintergreen buzz...no syrupy, sugary aftertaste. This is definitely not your Dad’s Root Beer (pun for those who recognize this old brand)! The flavor grew on me as I shared the bomber.
