Stout Float
Source: Fred Eckhardt and othersAnyone who saw Bill Comley walking around at our July meeting with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in his mug of Chris Rohrbach's Maple Walnut Porter wasn't crazy. The Hyde Park Brewpub also serves a Stout float and the following discussion was recently in the Homebrew Digest.
About 5-6 years ago Fred Eckhardt advanced the idea of a Guinness Float. I tried it and liked it. I've used 2-3 scoops of a French Vanilla Ice cream and a double fudge brownie in the glass, then pour Guinness Pub Draft over it all. Yum! As the saying goes: Try it, you might like it!
