Draft. Looks, smells and tastes just like rootbeer. I cant even detect the alcohol in this. Dangerously tasty.

Sampled from the tap at the Mundelin craft beer fest. Pours a cloudy honey amber with a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of honey and sweet grains with an earthy barrel note. Flavor is sweet with honey and caramel a bit of alcohol in finish.

Sampled from the tap at the Mundelin beer fest. Pours a dark brown with a light brown head that remains throughout the beer. Aroma smells just like root beer, very sweet. Flavor is extremely sweet as well and just like root beer. Personally not a root beer fan, but it does taste just like it.
