Berghoff Black Cherry Soda

I really enjoyed Berghoff Root Beer nearly 3 years ago, so I had high hopes for their Black Cherry:

Brand: Berghoff Black Cherry Soda.

Origin: Chicago, IL.

Purchase Place: "Minnesota's Largest Candy Store," Jordan, MN.

Sweetener: Cane Sugar.

Review: From the first sip, I knew it was a unique black cherry soda. But I wasn't sure if I loved it right away. It was a little creamier than I would hope from a black cherry soda. It was definitely more like a "cream soda" than a "cola." In the end, I never fully got over the creaminess. It was OK, and you'd like it if you were in the mood for a cherry *cream* soda, but I'll give it just an average score.

Score: 5 out of 10.

Berghoff Root Beer

The label looked promising for this root beer:

Brand: Berghoff Root Beer.

Origin: Chicago, Illinois.

Purchase Place: Frattallone's Ace Hardware, St. Paul, MN.

Sweetener: Cane Sugar.

Review: This was really tasty and pretty "classic" from the start. Very smooth, and a lot of vanilla. It left a little of a coating on the back of my throat which was the only real drawback. Otherwise, an all-around great root beer.

Score: 8.5 out of 10.
