I just made this recipe from David Lebovitz's book Perfect Scoop, and I have to say, it's really good. I haven't frozen it yet, but the custard's got a good chocolate flavor followed by some mild bitterness from the stout, with maybe a hint of hoppiness. I used Sam Adams' Cream Stout instead of Guinness, and I also used two extra large Valentine's Nestle bars for the milk chocolate (A premium brand would probably be better, but I can't homebrew and afford Ghiradeli). Plus, the recipe left me with more than half a beer and chocolate bar.
Chow.com has it at this link, but if you have an ice cream maker, I can't recommend the book enough. The recipes are really good and reliable.
PS: I've seen Emeril's Guinness recipe in a search for this here, but I don't know how this stands up to it. This definitely has a beer flavor, but it doesn't taste so intense as to be off-putting for people who don't like beer.
