Anyone else like beer floats?

[mtnagel]

I just had a beer float with chocolate ice cream and a homebrewed chocolate stout. So good!! Anyone else like beer floats?

Not in a judgmental way, but I'm just laughing right now. Not sure why.

Interesting reaction. Most people either say it sounds great or disgusting. But never laughing...

Truth, I can't decide if it sounds good or not right now. And, I'm drinking a homebrew stout at this moment! I should just go grab a scoop of ice cream and find out, but I gotta say that I don't fancy mixing those two things.

I did make salsa with hops once (willamette). That was a disaster. Looked good on paper though.

Our local microbrewery brew pub offers a stout float (vanilla), and a Belgian White with orange sherbet............... I've never seen anybody order either one.......

Milk stout on nitro + coffee ice cream = delicious

Absolutely! Beer floats are delicious and homebrew floats are even better. I brewed an oatmeal cookies and milk porter and it went great with chocolate ice cream.

1st and only one I had was at Kolher Days back in Wisconsin had a Milk Stout with fresh vanilla frozen custard. It was good just not a fan of sweets and beer together.

I made beer floats once with a stout, it was a long time ago. I think I may have read about it in a beer book by Michael Jackson (RIP). They were alright, but not fantastic. It's easy to see that it might work better with different stouts though.

Hmm, maybe that Rogue chocolate pretzel raspberry thing...

Beer floats are incredible. So yummy. I even got my mom to try one with a Russian imperial stout. She couldn't believe how well it went with vanilla bean ice cream. It is a great thing that many people turn down before they even try it!

Breck Vanilla Porter + Vanilla icecream = awesome

(learned this trick from the bottom of the sixer )

At the bar that I tend the legend is Nitro Old Rasputin over Vanilla Gelato with a shot of Espresso.

Wow, that sounds great.
