STOUT FLOAT

How many of my favorite flavors can be packed into a glass? Plenty. Stout, coffee, chocolate, and vanilla make for a grown-up, earthy (but still fun) take on a float. I prefer a deeply chocolatey stout for this, but it's just grand with any deep, dark porter you love-although I'd steer clear of oyster stouts for this. The vanilla seeds in the whipped cream may seem like a minor detail, but they're not: they help to bring all the flavors together, and the small, brown flecks complement the rich color of the stout.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 oz. coffee liqueur (preferably Fair Café)
2 scoops vanilla ice cream
6 oz. stout (I like Young's Double Chocolate)
Unsweetened whipped cream flavored with vanilla seeds
Dark chocolate for grating

Steps:

  • To a tall, soda-fountain-style glass (or an imperial pint glass), add the coffee liqueur and one scoop of the ice cream. Slowly add the stout and the second scoop of ice cream. Top with as much freshly whipped cream and grated dark chocolate as you like.

Tips:

  • Use a quality stout beer: The flavor of the stout will shine through in the float, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a stout that is rich and flavorful, with notes of chocolate, coffee, and roasted barley.
  • Don't over-freeze the stout: If the stout is too frozen, it will be difficult to scoop and will not float as well. Aim to freeze the stout until it is slushy, but still pourable.
  • Use a good quality vanilla ice cream: The vanilla ice cream will help to balance out the bitterness of the stout and add a touch of sweetness. Look for a vanilla ice cream that is rich and creamy, with a smooth texture.
  • Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings: This will add a touch of elegance and make your stout float even more special.

Conclusion:

A stout float is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a unique and flavorful dessert, give a stout float a try.
