Delicious Beer Desserts

The Red Robin Octoberfest Milkshake Pays Homage to the German Holiday

The Red Robin Octoberfest Milkshake is a seasonal special, but many will wish it was around all year long. This concoction mixes many delicious foods and flavors together into one high-calorie blend.

The Red Robin Octoberfest Milkshake uses vanilla soft serve ice cream, Samuel Adams beer and caramel to tantalize your taste buds. With all that goodness in one glass, it's no surprise that this isn't the best choice for those who are watching their waistline, but who can say no to such an invention? I bet I'd only be able to drink one. The mix of dairy and alcohol is a bit hard on the stomach.

The quirky milkshake will be offered until November 11th as a part of Red Robin's fall menu along with other seasonal favorites, like the Octoberfest burger made with a soft pretzel bun.
