Dead world is a zombie comic where the
zombies, led by King Zombie, have largely taken over the world. They make sodas
marketed and sold by Caprice Brands LLC. They have 12 flavors centered around
characters in the comics. Two of these flavors are root beer and vanilla root
beer. I reviewed the vanilla
root beer a while back and rated it 6 out of 12.
The “regular” root beer is named Twilight
Shuffler. There is a musclebound, heavily
Tattooed, a half-human and half-zombie on the bottle. Supposedly, she can move from one dead body
to another. See odd to me.
So it is time for the review. (Click here for information on the rating
criteria and a table of all the root beer tested or to be tested.)

Aroma and Flavor – 2.25 out
of 3 mugs
The
aroma is heavy caramel. The first drink
was a strong vanilla caramel mix. The
first sip was a little sweet for me, even though the sugar level is on the lower
end of the 70 brews reviewed at 3.2 g per ounce. The lowest reviewed was 2.2 per ounce and the
highest 6.6 g per ounce. The carbonation
is medium. Overall it is very smooth and
creamy. The more I consumed, the liking
increased. There is an aftertaste I can’t
place, could be slight wintergreen?
Head – 1.5 out of 3 mugs
The head is very frothy
(small) bubbles and dissipates at an average pace. Takes about 30 seconds to fully dissipate.
Zip – 2..25 out of 3 mugs
This
is a very good variety of flavors that is very creamy. The zip is a little more than I prefer. There is a definite
vanilla, caramel and wintergreen mix.
These favors take over the beverage and I do not get the impression I am
enjoying a root beer.
Post Consumption Impression – 2..25 out of 3
mugs
This is a beverage I would really enjoy, over
ice. The ice would reduce the higher sweetness
and zip in the beverage.
Would I recommend this at 8.25 out of 12 mugs?
If you want that deep strong root beer flavor in a
beverage, this may not be the choice for you.
If you want a solid beverage over ice, I highly recommend giving it a
try. However, directly from the bottle
is a little more favor and sweetness than I prefer.
