    Always wanted to drown some ice cream with stout.

    I think this Peanut Butter stout would be perfect with some vanilla ice cream. I'd never tried Sweet Baby Jesus, but I'd imagine that it would be good with ice-cream as well.

    Sweet Baby Jesus is one of those beers with diminishing marginal returns for me - each time I liked it less and less. But I'm sure it would be fantastic with ice cream.

    We made Pliny floats with Three Twins ice cream at Toronado once.

    I've had Dark Seas with Vanilla ice cream. It was delicious.

    Sam Smith Organic Chocolate Stout with Bluebell Homemade vanilla will change your life. Sort of a White Russian vibe.

    Insanely tasty. I give you my money-back guarantee. Good with Young's Double Chocolate, too.

    I was at a beer thing in MI back in the mid/late 90s. Fred Eckhardt did beer and ice cream. It opened out eyes to that.

    This seems so wrong... yet so very very right.

    Damn it. Now I'm going to have to go ice cream shopping on my next beer run.

    A chef friend swears that Weyerbacher Tiny and vanilla ice cream are perfect.

    They had run out of right-handed cigarettes.

    I think the warlock was bad when I tried this because it was awful. I had 2 other warlocks which I liked. The Pisgah was good.
    THe float is worth a try but not something to do regularly.
