Detailing a tag system for easy sorting of my root beer reviews

If I decide to post on here regularly, it seems fitting that I create a shorthand system allowing easy search of my reviews for a root beer that suits your preferences. Here's an example of what I propose:

# Barq's (R6, S8, Medium, LWiVa)

This shorthand system incorporates four elements:

My overall review score for the root beer in question, out of 10.

How sweet I think the relevant brew is, relative to other root beers I've tried, out of 10.

How strong the "root beer flavor" (think sassafras and sarsparilla) is, classified as Weak/Medium/Strong.

The relative flavor profile of the root beer, taking into account the three main flavors of Licorice, Wintergreen, and Vanilla.

Please let me know your thoughts!

Trying to restore this blog with brand-new, never-before-seen, fresh-baked root beer reviews. The picture is from a few weeks ago.

6/10. Barq's is better than Mug and comparable to A&W in my book. Licorice is the dominant flavor, and wintergreen is secondary - there isn't much vanilla, especially compared to the others from the Big Three. There's also a lot more tertiary spice here than in a lot.of other root beers. My issue with it is that it's too sweet and uses corn syrup instead of cane sugar.

This is an abomination to the name of root beer. Negative 10/10. It tastes like someone mixed vinegar and cough syrup, wafting wintergreen and licorice over the mix, and left it in the sun for a week.

This is a very generic root beer, and there is absolutely nothing special about it. That said, it was infinitely more palatable than Virgil's sugar-free root beer. If you're watching your sugar, Sprecher Lo-Cal is the way to go. If you're not, get regular or maple Sprecher's instead.

8/10 compared to sugar-free root beers, 5.5/10 compared to regular root beers.

TLDR: Southside Root Bexar - 8.5/10

This was a very good root beer. The Body tasted similar to Bulldog, though perhaps with a less aggressive honey taste. Wintergreen and (artificial) sassafras were prominent. Behind those flavors was, as advertised by the bottle, the flavor of mesquite. I enjoy this flavor, having grown up on meat grilled over mesquite, hickory, and oak, but you might not. The aftertaste was almost completely of honey.

Owing to those same mesquite beans, this root beer's Bite is different from the norm. In addition, I'd like more carbonation in my root beers.

This was delicious and I'd recommend it if you can find it.

Mug tastes like sugar water that someone waved some vanilla and fake sarsaparilla over. Hank's and Bulldog are where it's at.

This was a delicious root beer, found in a New Mexico gas station about a week ago. It tastes largely of vanilla, with most other flavors slightly in the background. I recommend drinking this if you can find it. 8/10.
