This is just a random thought I had, what about trying to put some irish cream liquor into a stout beer? Would it taste at all like an Irish car bomb or just be weird? Any opinions
 
I suspect it would work. Get a bottle of stout, split it three ways and add varying amount of Irish Cream to each. I'd probably try a teaspoonful in one, then go up or down in the next.
 
Irish cream is pretty sweet. If you added it to a glass of stout I'm sure it would be fine. But if you added it to a keg or a fermenter, the yeast will probably eat up most of the sugars.

As an aside, I once asked an Irish bartender (in Ireland) about putting Irish cream in stout. She gave me a pint of Guinness and set a small sipping glass of Irish cream next to it. She told me it should only be mixed in the mouth or in the stomach... :)
