Ingredients
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup stout beer
Instructions
- To a short glass, add 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream.
- Top with stout beer taking care to not let the foam overflow.
- Let the foam subside, then top with more beer.
Notes
- Look for a stout beer that is flavored. The one I'm using is Peanut Butter flavored but I've also used Chocolate Stout and Banana Bread Stout.
- To keep the foam down, you can use place a spoon in the glass, backside up, and pour the beer down the back of the spoon into the glass. I learned this trick when I worked the soda fountain in a 40's diner. I actually like the foam as part of this recipe. You do you.
- You can play up the dessert side of this beer ice cream float by topping it with whipped cream, chocolate syrup and chocolate shavings.
- Don't like beer but still want an alcoholic float? Try hard root beer instead!
