I see a lot of poor reviews. This is certainly because these people are beer drinkers. Best Damn Rootbeer didn't taste like beer. I dislike beer.
The people you need to ask are root beer drinkers. Every root beer drinker I know, including my 85 yr old mom, LOVED it and were heartbroken to lose it.
Is there any left in a warehouse somewhere?

Pleasantly surprised. Normal root beer aroma. Flavor, at first glance, is like an A&W, which has that tooth paste like flavor. No real alcohol detected. Only after a minute, or two, is there a warmth that comes up. Going to have to make a float with this done day!!

Pretty much the opposite. You’re better off drinking a can of root beer soda that’s been sitting in the car and exposed to the summer sun than drinking this.

So let me preface this by saying that I'm currently moving and the only thing I have at my old place is some stale doritos and I can't think of anything more appropriate to drink with that than a bottle of this stuff that was left behind by some visitor who won't be welcomed into my new home.
Look - Looks like coffee, totally stagnant. No carbonation, no lacing.
Smell - Licorice, vanilla and nutmeg. Alcohol is fairly obvious. Honestly its just an unbalanced root beer.
Taste - Your teenage son has gone to a fast food place and gotten a cup of root beer, he added some cheap alcohol to it last night and left it in his car on a hot summer night. The ice has melted watering it down. You wonder to yourself "Will Jeremy ever get his life together?".
Feel - It's like old soda
Overall - This is bad.

For something that shouldn't even be on this board, since it isn't properly beer, I liked it. You could easily get drunk on these without intending to, since the alcohol is all but undetectable.
