Bobtail
It’s easy to make a decent milkshake: Add good ice cream to good milk and you have delicious, right? Well, Bobtail takes it to the next level, with perfectly thick milkshakes and ideal proportions of flavors, fruit and ice cream. In a chocolate banana shake, for example, you taste the banana and chocolate equally. But their real crowning glory is their malt. Bobtail’s tastes exactly like a malt ball. No grit, no powdery taste, just that amazing malt and ice cream.
