It’s good. Distinctive Guinness flavor.

Be sure to deflate the beer a bit or you’ll get ice crystals in your IC.

Have a green day

This sounds delicious. Might have to make some up today.

I've tried making beer ice cream once. It is very important to use part milk and part cream. I tried it with all heavy cream and it became so thick it almost burned up my mixer. I haven't been brave enough to try it again.

This does sound very good. Anyone experiment yet?

My wife is a baker/commercial caterer and she makes killer ice creams in the summer. She mad some vanila/guiness last year for a local pub that came out amazing. I believe she boiled/reduced the guiness a little to kill some of the alchohol and condense the flavors. I'll get the recipe from her tonight after work and post it. It was amazing!

BTW, if any of you have significant others that don't like the smell of boiling wort. you will be single after they smell reducing stout!

Ben & Jerry's makes a product with Guinness in it.
