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

Re: Beer 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.

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?sigpic The Tasty Island

Re: Beer Ice Cream
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.

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

Re: Beer Ice Cream
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.But I'm disturbed! I'm depressed! I'm inadequate! I GOT IT ALL! (George Costanza)

Re: Beer Ice Cream
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! ). 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".
