The founders of Titletown Brewing Co. are the grandchildren of Grandma Gladys. The Sno-Cap root beer served in the restaurant is mixed up fresh daily with the same syrup (along with some special ingredients). It is sold by the mug, by the growler (a 1/2-gallon jug), or by the bottle.

Aroma and Flavor – 2.0 out of 3 mugs
This aroma is a heavy vanilla scent. It is smooth with a solid cream flavor. Vanilla is the most prominent taste with notable caramel.
Head – 2.5 out of 3 mugs
The head is substantial, with fine bubbles that slowly disappear.
Zip – 1.75 out of 3 mugs
The brew is not a tantalizing mix of spices. There is a real basic root beer with strong vanilla and caramel. The carbonation is on the lower side. The syrup is easily identifiable.
Post Consumption Impression – 1.75 out of 3 mugs (0.5 deducted)
I deducted 0.5 for the high fructose corn syrup. What is odd is that the label lists Corn Syrup and High Fructose Corn Syrup! At best for me, this is a solid middle-of-the-pack brew.
Would I recommend this at 8 out of 12 mugs (5.5 out of 9 mugs without a head)?
This is a beverage I would only enjoy with a meal. Standalone, I would pass unless it was all that was offered. The sweetness and caramel are above my threshold of enjoyment. I prefer a little more carbonation as well.
