Dang! - #78, 5.5 out of 12

This beverage is produced by Imperial Flavors, a family-owned and operated enterprise based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, since 1964. The company was founded by Jack Pettigrew in 1964. Their primary product line consists of juice concentrates that are distributed to bars and restaurants, as well as sodas. The information I have gathered suggests that Pettigrew initially developed an A&W-inspired root beer formula and made modifications to it. At one point, he expressed his satisfaction with the result, stating, “Dang! That’s good.” This led to the creation of the beverage we know today. The most successful product in their lineup is their butterscotch root beer. For further information, I recommend reading an insightful article published in the Milwaukee Journal.

Aroma and Flavor – 1.5 out of 3 mugs

This beverage exudes a rich and sweet aroma, subtly infused with a hint of vanilla. Upon tasting, it presents a smooth yet exceptionally sweet brew, reminiscent of commercial root beer. However, it is noteworthy that this beverage may contain a significant amount of sodium or sugar. It is characterized by its plain, low-carbonated nature, accompanied by a slight syrupy sensation. 


Head – 1 out of 3 mugs

The head was below average with little remnant. 

Zip – 1.5 out of 3 mugs

The beverage has lower carbonation. The flavors blend harmoniously, although I am consuming a mildly sweetened mixture of other flavors.


Post Consumption Impression – 1.5 out of 3 mugs

Due to its excessive sweetness, I found it challenging to consume the entire bottle.


Would I recommend this at 5.5 out of 12 mugs?

It is a middle-of-the-road brew that most will enjoy and few will hate. Give it a try.
