Two Brothers Cinnamon Root Beer

Two Brothers is a microbrewery in Illinois known for it's beers, obviously. I went on a tour of their brewery recently. They also brew two kinds of soda, a Cinnamon Root Beer and a French Lemonade.

More information about the company can be found here.

Appearance

I can't review the appearance of the bottling of this soda because I actually got it on tap. So that's fairly novel and awesome on it's own. It was actually really neat, at the end of the tour everyone got 3 samples of beer free. I requested samples of the soda's instead, and since the bartender was fairly busy and pressed for sample glasses, he just gave me two glasses free.

Notice all the beer in the background
The soda itself is a fairly typical amber rootbeer color. Nothing really remarkable. 

Appearance Score

-/10 I'm calling it unrateable since there's no packaging to score. Though getting it out of a tap is really cool.

Taste

It's a very well done rootbeer. Very carefully made. Everything about it tastes deliberate and intentional. There's definitely notes of cinnamon in it. It kind of tastes like red hot cinnamon. It's a very candy-ish flavor. Not my favorite, but very well done. There's also a well spiced quality about it, with a nutmeg flavor. It has a light carbonation. It could even use some more. Overall, it was a full flavored excellent rootbeer.

Taste Score

8/10 Very good, try to find it.
