What's better than ice-cream and rootbeer? Ice-cream and real beer! We've mixed some frozen milk and a multitude of beers to find the best tasting ice-cream float. Try our selections, or post your own concoctions.
Light Beer Category
Generic Light Beer
Joshua - Mild, surprisingly tasty
Brendan - Sweet, a little bland
Casey - Beer itself, pretty gross. Beer with ice cream, not bad.
Medium Beer Category
Bock
Joshua - bad aftertaste, doesn't mix well
Brendan - Harsh, like drinking puke
Casey - Bock is good, but bock with ice cream is confusing and scary.
Pale Ale
Joshua - Kills bitterness, doesn't blend well. Sweeter than bock.
Brendan - OK. Doesn't mix well. Still tastes like ice cream and beer.
Casey - Similar to the light, but not quite as cost-effective.
Amber
Joshua - Great, slightly malty aftertaste.
Brendan - Sweet with full body and great aftertaste.
Casey - This beer itself is naturally creamy. The ice cream
accentuates nicely. A bit rich, but I wouldn't mind having this
as a dessert.
Exotic Beer Category
Raspberry Wheat
Joshua- -delicious, smooth, clean aftertaste
Brendan - I can drink this all day. Doesn't taste like beer at all ... more like a sherbet.
Casey - Tastes the most like a dessert. Raspberry comes through, but isn't overpowering. I thought this would be gross, but it's not bad at all. Still like the Amber better, though.
Peach Belgian Ale
Joshua - Scrumptious mélange of peach and ale. Excellent.
Brendan - Amazing. Like a Sunday brunch in the Garden of Eden. Great fruit aftertaste.
Casey - Way too
sweet. If you got this at a bar, it would come with three
umbrellas and an official Certificate of Emasculation.
Black Currant Wheat
Joshua - Scary. Do not drink. Almost curdled.
Brendan - Gag me. Bitter and horrible. It's trying to make me sick.
Casey - Have you ever heard of black currant and ice cream as a dessert? There's a reason why.
Dark Beer Category
Stout
Joshua - Very smooth. Standard stout bite without the strong beer flavor.
Brendan - The classic float. A beer drinker's float. Treat yourself to some chocolately goodness.
Casey - I'm not a big fan of this stout, but this is pretty good. Nothing remarkable, but pretty tasty.
Double Chocolate Stout
Joshua - Tastes like cream and beer. Not a good blend. Both flavors are too present.
Brendan - Too refined. Good, but not something you can't get enough of. Like a bitter chocolate.
Casey - I actually like this one. You could drink this and think you had a chocolate milkshake. A great trick to play on your younger siblings.
Porter
Joshua - -Not a good mix. Imagine what ashes in beer would taste like, then add cream.
Brendan -Sweet after initial kick, but the aftertaste makes you want to wring your mouth out.
Casey - Not
as bitter as the stout or as sweet as the chocolate stout. Very
creamy and not bad, but why would you mess with a good porter?

Wow! This past week I had the epiphany of creating a beer float. Obviously I was not the first to have this brilliant idea.
I created a berryweis tasting mix using 1 can of Pabst Blue Ribbon and 2 scoops of raspberry sherbet.
I LOVE THIS!

The beer floats are a good idea did it my self with some friends last night and the stout was my fav. Yet I still would like to try even more types of beer maybe change the ice cream see how that changes the taste of light stout and exotic.

Ahhh...the best of both worlds with beer and desert together...if in so cal I highly recommend BJ's Restaurant/brewery for their "PM Porter Float". It's not on the menu but they do sell their beer to go......

take one (1) beer, put it in a glass, drop a shot of root beer schnapps in, and slam... tastes just like a root beer float, and like i said, they gets you drunk...
