Here's a thought.
What if you were to use root beer extract and sugar (or some other fermentable) like you normally would, but then used some other non-fermentable sweetener, like lactose or Splenda? Is there any reason that this couldn't produce a decent tasting alcoholic root beer?
 
Not sure. I've muddled around with a root beer Brown ale recipe, but not alcoholic root beer. I'd be careful with splenda. I'm pretty sure artificial sweeteners like splenda giv you diarrhea in high enough quantities.
