Smell: When you open this up, you get a strong whiff of vanilla, but it doesn't overpower the rest of the natural root beer flavor. Very good and enjoyable.
Head: As you can see, not exceptionally tall or anything, but it lasted through the drink and I even had a good foam at the bottom of the glass when I finished up.
Flavor: My first impression was that this was going to be a solid B, maybe even an A. The mix of vanilla and sassafras was so balanced, I really enjoyed it. But... then suddenly as the first couple of drinks ended I noticed a funky after taste. Just stale, not sure how else to describe it. Even now, I still have this weird mixture that I can only describe as stale vanilla in my mouth.
Overall: Sadly, the aftertaste knocked this down a whole grade, otherwise I would have given it a B at the very least. But the first few sips are really glorious...
