Too much beer and it can get over powering.<br /><br />Next time, also consider using lighter color ice creams like English Toffee or even Chocolate Chip or even a Raspberry Chocolate Chip. By adding just a hint of a big stout it can be quite tasty.<br /><br />Not all ice cream mixes well with dark beers. Be sure the ice cream is fresh and not freezer burned and is very soft. Experiment a bit with how much beer you pour in.<br /><br />Porters, Stouts, Imperial Stouts, and other dark brews seem to work well with ice cream. I've even had a Cherry Wheat poured over vanilla icecream too (was ok).<br /><br />Don't give up on them just because your first one wasn't that exciting. Old Rasputin can be quite dry. Try a Deschutes Abyss or Black Butte Porter XX or an Oskar Blues Ten Fidy next time.<br /><br />Cheers!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04144288142060736290noreply@blogger.com
