Would you eat an ice cream flavor labeled HomeBrew Vanilla Stout?
-
I am trying to get Blue Bell to initiate a new flavor based on my chocolate stout mixed with their Homemade Vanilla ice cream. I mix it at home and it is delicious as a frosted drink. Just thought I'd share with the world and start a new career in brewing full time.

I've always liked ice cream and beer together.
-
How do you mix it?
I've been drinking quite a bit of this recently:

which would go nicely with ice-cream. -
Sorry about not replying sooner. Life gets in the way sometimes. I usually fill a large mug with Blue Bell HomeMade Vanilla ice cream, then fill the mug with my chocolate stout. I allow the beer to start breaking down the ice cream and mix it to the consistency fo soft soft serve. Had some tonight with my latest imperial chocolate stout and it was great.

I used to do beer milkshakes when I lived in DC.

By stout do they mean short, robust people? I'm not sure if I could eat an ice cream that tastes like George Costanza.

@dengelhardt I would certainly drink/eat this
-
I'd have a go at it.
I like to try new things. I had honey and vegemite on my toast for breakfast yesterday. -

Just like those smug, bastard penguins. Wearing tuxedos all the time, sliding around like they own the world. God, I hate them!

Well, my nose runs and my feet smell.

Any stout with ice cream is a treat but chocolate is best. Ingredients for a typical chocolate stout include dark malt extract, two-row or Munich malt, crystal malt, and chocate malt which gives it the chocolate taste. Some brewers will use malt sugars or brown sugar but I prefer to stay with malts. Some brewers will add chocolate nibs for more chocolate flavor but syrup is too sweet. Usually has an alcohol content between 4.8 and 5.6 but an imperial can go to 9.4 as long as the alcohol doesn't overpower the flavor.
