Description: "Using natural ingredients, we brew a Root Beer so pure, so rich and creamy, you'll swear it's made in heaven."
Ingredients: Purified Carbonated Water, Cane Sugar, Natural Flavors, Citric Acid, Herbs and Spices. No Preservatives or Artificial Anything! Gluten Free. GMO Free.
Smell: Strong anise just like normal Virgil's. Definitely some hints of mint, perhaps Wintergreen, and nutmeg on the back end.
Head: Again, similar to the classic Virgil's, no head.
Flavor: Complex is the word that automatically came to mind. It's not sweet, but there's a lot to taste in each sip. Anise and licorice are on full display, as is common with Virgil's, but you can taste wintergreen, and clove, and the nutmeg really kind of surrounds your tongue. There's even some sort of cinnamon in the aftertaste, which isn't very long lasting, but not bad.
Overall: Again, a lot of the complexity in Virgil's tends to outdo the flavors I enjoy the most. Vanilla, molasses, and even the cane sugar are outdone by mint and licorice. The nutmeg and cinnamon were a welcome addition, and made this an even better brew than classic Virgil's, but I was really hoping for something more special from this.
