We thought an ice cream beer float sounded like a good idea and others (notably Mark Dredge and Zak Avery) have raved about it.
As I was staying up to watch the Superbowl, I thought I’d give it a go with two of my favourite American imports, Brooklyn Chocolate Stout and Ben & Jerry’s.
And, do you know what? It was horrid.
The lovely dark chocolate roastiness of the beer became metallic and cheesy. The two ingredients cancelled each other out.
I had to pour it away.
