Dead World Zombie (#64 - Rated 6 out of 12)

This beverage is produced by the Dead World Zombie Soda Company. Dead World is an award-winning, long-running cult comic book series. With over 1 million copies in print and over 100 comics and graphic novels released to date, Dead World is not your typical “zombie comic book or story.”


Dead World Zombie Soda is a beverage line conceived, marketed, and sold by Caprice Brands LLC, based in Livonia, Michigan. The bottled drinks are manufactured by Intrastate Distributors, located in Detroit, Michigan. Intrastate Distributors is one of Michigan’s most prominent beverage bottlers, with brands such as Frostie Root Beer and Towne Club. Deadworld Zombie Soda beverages are available in 12 flavors.

 

Ingredients:

Aroma and Flavor – 1.0 out of 3 mugs

This beverage exudes a robust aroma of sugar and vanilla. While I am an admirer of vanilla, the scent in this instance was excessive, resulting in a flavor profile that resembled crème soda rather than traditional root beer. The overall sweetness level is excessively high for my personal preference. 


Head –1.0 out of 3 mugs

The head is robust and substantial. Although it dissipated slowly, a minimal amount of head remained.


Zip – 0.5 out of 3 mugs

Slow Decay possesses a distinctive bite and crispiness, distinguishing it from traditional root beer.


Post Consumption Impression – 0.75 out of 3 mugs

I generally enjoyed the flavor combination, not as a root beer but as a cream soda. They could reduce the sugar content to better align with my preferences.


Would I recommend this at 3.25 out of 12 mugs?

This root beer is excessively sweet for my palate. While it possesses a well-balanced flavor profile, it leans more towards the taste of cream soda rather than traditional root beer.
