TASTING NOTES: Flavor is not well balanced and the guarana has a terrible “energy” flavor. The caffeine does make it taste better as you sip though.

TASTING NOTES: No major flavor problems but it definitely has more vanilla than “normal” root beers. It is incredibly sweet which honestly takes away from the other more subtle spices.

Sweetness: 6/10
Thickness: 8/10
Carbonation: 3/10
After Taste: 8/10
OVERALL: 8/10
TASTING NOTES: Rich and creamy. Was delight in consistency but unlike the less expensive Virgil’s brand root beer, Special Edition Bavarian Nutmeg lacks the balanced flavors. Heavy licorice overtones with a nice nutmeg aftertaste. It was good but 8 dollars good? Probably not.

TASTING NOTES: Subtle spices with a light tangy flavor. It’s cool that this root beer is fair trade and organic but there is no reason why the soda should be this bland. I appreciate what the company stands for, I just wish it stood for taste too.

Carbonation: 4/10
Aftertaste: 8/10
Overall: 8/10
Tasting Notes: Really sweet and creamy root beer. Doesn’t have the classic licorice taste. It has a syrup(like pancake syrup) taste that is a bit overpowering. If I gave bonus points for presentation Mr.Frosty’s would definitely get a 10. When you get the root beer in a mug ice crystals will begin to form making the experience just a little bit sweeter.
Mr.Frosty’s has a unique set of ingredients in their root beer. Instead of licorice Mr.Frosty’s has chosen to use an assortment of yucca root, nutmeg, and vanilla giving it a “holiday” taste. Mr.Frosty’s is in Denton,TX and is worth visiting even if you just drink the root beer. Ask for a frosty mug!
