Absolutely gorgeous Root Beer! I love the Root Beer Nipple Dials! Not a big fan of the 16713 Root Beer. I love to see Root Beers on Jubilees!

I love the 1675 "rootbeer" and it's predecessor the "milk chocolate".
Here's my '73 "chocolate" and my '77 "rootbeer".

I've been hunting for an NOS quality, all original Root Beer for a few years now and he came up with this for me.

very very pleased, I'll have to buy him a beer whenever I make it to SF on holiday

Yes, it has a very nice "changing color" dial. Will only pick it up in August though.

I just can't seem to warm up to the root beer gmts. If I had to pick between a root beer or a nicely faded Pepsi, I would pick the Pepsi.
