Quaker City Malting Co. "Old Dutch"
12 fl. oz. can, production coded but without freshness dating
$2 @ Weis Market, Conshohocken, PA

Look: Clear deep mahogany with fairly large effervescent bubbles. A quick head of white passes just as it would on a cola or root beer.

Smell: Minty like spearmint, mildly caramelish, and lightly sweetish.

Flavor: Very much like Birch beer or root beer. The mintiness is quite bright and nice, rising over the caramel; and the alcohol never shows, although at just 5.8% it shouldn't. The sugar fades fairly quickly in the finish leaving mint lingering behind.

Feel: Medium-light in body with a dextrinous feel. Crisp and gently bristling.

Overall: In comparison to something like "Not Your Father's Root Beer" this tastes more like an old-time soda than most of the new alco-sodas do.
