Beer Review - Sam Adams Octoberfest Milkshake

Okay so I'm not entirely sure this counts as a beer review.  For one its Sam Octoberfest which is a pretty common beer.  For another thing, it comes from a major chain restaurant.  But I mean come one... its a beer milkshake... how can you not?

Admittedly, I wasn't sure on this thing.  Its a beer milkshake - which is awsome - but its also a beer milkshake which is.... well... weird.  Now I like Sam Adams Octoberfest - in general I like most octoberfest type beers.  And I like vanilla ice cream and I like caramel and whipped cream.  But together? I wasn't so sure.  And the verdict? It's okay.  Worth a try because it's so out there but not worth getting a second time.  You can in fact taste the beer - but really from the beer you get the alcohol taste and a really strong yeast/bread taste.  It tastes faintly of Octoberfest but mostly of yeast with a strong after taste of "oh shit that is alcohol".  Vanilla? Not really in the flavor at all.  The consistency is also a little.... off.  Maybe it's because it does taste a bit like beer and you never want your beer to be thick or maybe there's some sort of wierd chemical reaction but for me at least, the consistency made it a touch hard to stomach.  The best part is the caramel and whipped cream - that at least tastes like you'd expect.  Overall - not horrible but really not anywhere near my favorite.
