I agree with R2 on this one. Root beer is more like "LET'S PUMP THE TREE JUICES OUT AND COMBINE THEM WITH A BUNCH OF GROUND-UP WORMS WITH LIQUID RANCID DOG FLESH PILED ON TOP!" However you're free to like it all you want ^^
Never had root beer before its really hard to get in the uk without you pay a lot its like 90p for a small can off tescos online store so I guess I can't really vote on this one.
