Bottle and Label: Brown bottle with a light orange label that features “Dang!” very prominently
Ingredients: Carbonated water, sugar, natural and artificial flavor, caramel color, citric acid, and sodium benzoate (preserves freshness)
Smell: Amazingly strong butterscotch smell from the bottle. When poured the butter smell become more pronounced. It is unique and really does have a great smell
Carbonation: Medium-low level of carbonation give this brew a smooth feel without being flat. The smooth carbonation melds well with the smooth butterscotch flavor
Color: Almost black
Head: Very tall and very foamy and very long lasting. I had to stop pouring or it would have spilled over my tall frosted mug
Flavor: The butterscotch label is not just a gimmick. This root beer really has a distinct butterscotch taste. There are also some traditional root beer flavors with vanilla, honey, and hints of licorice being the most easy to detect. That said, the butterscotch is definitely the strongest flavor
Conclusion: Dang That’s Good Butterscotch Root Beer is good. No, it is very good. It has the traditional root beer elements but then it goes a different direction by adding the butterscotch flavor. I wasn’t sure I would like it but I am sold. This is a very good root beer. If you don’t like butterscotch you probably won’t like this brew. However, if you have even a mild affinity for butterscotch you owe it to yourself to give this one a try. This root beer earns a coveted “Editor’s Choice” award.
RBR’s grade- A “Editor’s Choice”
Just had my first bottle of Butterscotch Root Beer. This will not be my last. I may buy out the supply at the store where I found it.
I think you ought to try O-So Butterscotch Root Beer. I have tried both and found that O-So is much better in my opinion.
That sounds awesome! I’d love to try some at some point.
