Beer Ice Cream

[alohabear]

It had to happen...someone made a Guinness Beer Ice Cream (http://www.boston.com/ae/food/articles/2006/01/18/guinness_ice_cream/?p1=MEWell_Pos1) . Brilliant! :D

I suppose if Pyramid Ale can put Starbucks coffee in one of its brews, Guinness can make stout ice cream!

In John Steinbeck's Cannery Row, the main character one day goes into a diner and orders a beer milkshake. He's feeling sorta angry about something, and this is, believe it or not, a kind of important moment in the story, since he is such a predictable fellow.

He didn't like it much.

If you haven't read this great novel, please do yourself a favor and read it. Then let's talk about it!

I've made beer and I've made ice cream but I've never made beer flavored ice cream before. I've never made ice cream flavored beer either.

I've tried beer floats. I figured, if a root beer float is good, then why not a regular beer float? Nope, didn't work. All I got was milky tasting beer. :rolleyes:

I suppose if Pyramid Ale can put Starbucks coffee in one of its brews, Guinness can make stout ice cream!Gosh. That means you'd want to stay awake and fall sleep all at the same time. Sounds like instant trauma to the brain.

Actually, after reading the recipe in the original link, it sounds like this Guiness (stout) Ice Cream just might taste pretty good.

Heck, if the Iron Chefs can make Squid Ink Ice Cream, why not beer?

I think the Guinness ice cream would work better if you deep sixed the molasses. Having that cloying taste of molasses in my mouth on top of the richness of the other ingredients would probably turn me green around the gills too.

You are pixelating the recipe waaaaay too much, my dear. Its akin to dissecting bile.

Back away. Don't do it. Just wash the beer ice cream down the sink and pretend the whoooole thing never happened.

I've had beers that had definite hints of ice-cream flavor; Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout comes to mind, and there are a few others (probably at least another Samuel Smith's). Guinness is pretty thick and creamy anyway -- did you know that in some glasses, you can see the bubbles going downward through the stout? It's that viscous. Guinness-flavored ice cream does not seem so outrageous if you like your beer thick and creamy.

ROFL! Pua! :) If I had an ice cream maker, I might attempt to make this recipe, sans the molasses (just to say I did it once---lucky for you, I don't have an ice cream machine! :D ). I happen to LIKE Guinness (from the tap, not from those stupid pressurized cans). The amount of Guinness in proportion to the other ingredients is pretty minimal, so I think there would be an "insouciance" of Guinness flavor without the bitterness. The taste of molasses would make me hork, though. I might want to add a 'skosh more sugar to replace the molasses though.

The amount of Starbucks coffee in the Pyramid Porter is minimal too, because I can't even taste the coffee...it just kinda adds "body".

Hey, now you can sneak beer into places where they won't allow it ;)

Aloha stadium anyone? :D

But I've consumed beer and ice cream and regretted it the next day...BBBBBucket please!!! :eek:

I've had it, too. I am a Ben and Jerry's devotee, but this was only okay. Honestly nothing to get excited about.

good ice cream is ALWAYS something to get excited about!!! :p...and it keeps the world spinning in greased grooves, eh Scrivener? (If you haven't seen the twisted movie version, with Nick Nolte & Debra Winger, do so. M. Emmet Walsh is brilliant as Mack.)

[Hellbent]

Id try it. I just might bust out the ice cream maker. Whens the next hui =)

[TATTRAT]

Sounds like a winner to me, probably go great with bittersweet chocolate.

Once made sorbet out of Oranjeboom(dutch orange beer)with ginger and lemon grass. Was decent.
