STOUT FLOAT

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.

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.
STOUT FLOATS
On a recent visit to London, Knauer overheard a local in a pub ordering a "Guinness and Black" - which turned out to be the famous Irish stout plus a shot of blackberry brandy. That combination is also the genius behind these floats; the brandy's luscious fruitiness bridges the gap between the sweet ice cream and bitter beer.

Steps:
- Divide ice cream among 6 (16-ounce) glasses, then add 1 tablespoon brandy to each. Slowly pour 8 ounces stout into each glass.
Tips:
- For a vegan version of the stout float, use a vegan stout and a dairy-free whipped cream alternative.
- To make the cocoa syrup ahead of time, simply combine the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- If you don't have a stout on hand, you can use a porter or a dark ale. Just be sure to choose a beer that is not too hoppy.
- For a more decadent float, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the stout before topping it with whipped cream and cocoa syrup.
- Garnish the floats with a sprinkle of chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for a finishing touch.
Conclusion:
Stout floats are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up any leftover stout. So next time you have a bottle of stout on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
