Barq's has been caffeinated since 1898 as are some of the specialty craft root beers. Interestingly one historic root beer ingredient listed in 1920's promotional literature for Hires is Yerba Mate (which is more familiar as GUARANA as used in many over-caffeinated "energy drinks") - undoubtedly long since removed from the formula.

Root beer is a fermented beverage made from a combination of vanilla, cherry tree bark, licorice root, sarsaparilla root, sassafras root bark (which is mildly carcinogenic), nutmeg, anise, and molasses among other ingredients.
ngredients may include allspice, birch bark, coriander, juniper, ginger, wintergreen, hops, burdock root, dandelion root, spikenard, pipsissewa, guaiacum, yellow dock, honey, clover, cinnamon, prickly ash bark, quillaia, and yucca.

Due to the wide variety of ingredients possible the flavor of root beer is widely variable between brands. This is especially true of local brands. Root beer is very similar in taste to sarsaparilla, which may also be called root beer.

In Britain, there are several differentiated root beers, which rose to prominence with the temperance movement in the 20th century. These include sarsaparilla, dandelion and burdock, and ginger beer. They were strongly flavored drinks that people could use as an alternative to alcoholic beverages, and there tended to be a strong local preference for one of these. Well into the 1960s, these outsold cola drinks.

I think there's certain soda flavors that work well with caffiene and root beer isn't one of them. Fresca, lemon-lime sodas, orange sodas and ginger ale fall in to this category too.
