Rciesla (3510), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA May 29, 2009 Bottle. Pours a brown body with an off white head. Licorice and hints of birch and burnt and caramelized malt. Hints of vanilla and light woodiness, not bad. yobdoog (1426), Woodridge NY, New York, USA Apr 29, 2009 Dark pour with a nice fluffy head. Aroma is a little smokey and sweet and very herbal with some grain. Taste is sweet and odd with some grassy spice and some moss. Caramel and molasses and brown sugar sweetness with a little tingle from anise and vanilla. Strange. GMCC2181 (846), Bear, Delaware, USA Apr 27, 2009 Drank on monday April 27 2009. Noah’s B-Day! Poured into a Samuel Adams Lager glass. Muddy brown in color, small head. Funky aroma of sassafras and licorice. All kinds of floaties in it... Taste is actually nice. Rootbeer characteristics. Licorice, sassafras, molasses, touch of vanilla and some sugar. Texture is average. Unique beer that I enjoyed sipping on. Huge thanks to stfun (josh) for hooking me up. This one can now be squashed off my wants list! lithy (1600), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Feb 23, 2009 Bottle thanks to daknole. Dated October 2006. Dark dark cloudy brown-orange with a quick white cover. Great vanilla, sasafrass root beer and slight molasses aroma. Taste is lots of vanilla and sasparilla, molasses, licorice and lingering root beer. Very good, but possibly difficult to drink much of. daknole (2805), Plantation, Florida, USA Dec 27, 2008 Well I finally scored a four pack of the brewer patriot series. This beer is weird folks. Brown pour with a shitload of floating particles. Aroma of sasparilla, syrup and spices. I have no idea if this beer was actually good or not. It was weird with a capital W! Taste was very sweet and spicy with sasparilla, and A&W rootbeer notes. I dont think this was any good fresh. No way! milljam (562), Norman, Oklahoma, USA Dec 6, 2008 Ummm...quite strange. Definitely like old-fashioned root beer, but with alcohol. I have never liked the more old fashioned style of root beer, like Barqs..so this was not really my cup of tea. Did not really care for any of the flavors, but it was interesting to try. jimmack34 (560), Lancaster, Ohio, USA Oct 21, 2008 Smelled alot like root beer and and a little like anise. The more i drank and the warmer the beer got, tasted more like anise and less like root beer. Good at first and I could barely finish the bottle. Nice try but not for me. fordest (1954), Santee/San Diego, California, USA Sep 9, 2008 A very interesting beer. I didn’t think it was as bad as people had said it was. Root beer aromas with ginger and... um... root? Flavors were similar with just some alcohol on the finish. Not so bad really.
