B&J Black & Tan ice cream
Q. Ice cream or beer? A. Ice cream, ie no alcohol. But Ben & Jerry’s Black &Tan ice cream IS named (& flavored) after the drink that combines Guinness w/ pale beer. It’s: "stout-flavored" ice cream (flavored w/ "non-alcoholic stout extract") + choc ice cream swirl. (They also describe it as being topped w/ a "foamy stout ice cream head" but whatever.) The tie-in is St. Patrick’s Day and while beer-flavored ice cream seems odd, there are beeriers making choc-flav beer so maybe not such a stretch.*Photos "borrowed" from internet sources thus kinda illegible

Anyone for a redundant combo, a Black and Tan Float?
Blecch!
I'm with you, BK's Blog. Stout-flavored ice cream?
Blecch.
Stout-flavored ice cream? About as appealing to me as a mackerel-flavored soft drink.
I've never figured out why anyone wants to ruin a good beer with a Guinness in the first place. Especially when it takes 5 - 10 minutes for the bartender to make a black and tan.
I'd give this a shot. I'm down with beer flavored ice cream and I love Guiness.
In college I was eating chocolate ic and drinking cheap beer. THe ic had gotten all melty and I had gotten pretty buzzed so I poured teh beer in and voila beer shake. Pretty good. I've also been known to drink beer while eating choc chip cookies. Very nice.
Oh and the SA Chocolate bock is kick ass!
I thank you people for all your kind comments on my performance this past weekend. I told you I'd sweep the awards, and I did. I'm never wrong. In fact, I almost beat out myself for the top honor. WHO HAS EVER DONE THAT?
During a laughably minor competing awards show, the presenter for Best Supporting Actor had a hideous dress (just who is working with that girl?), wore some gaudy jewelry, and couldn't even READ. Hehehe! She can't READ. OMG!!!!
I've also received some comments on the fact that my child's name will be Hubbard. First off, who the hell is Freddy Hubbard? What are you people thinking? I've not even announced the sex of my baby, but Hubbard would be a fine homage and a fitting name for a girl. I've also considered L'ron, L'rhonda and Kanye. Katie, of course, wants to name the baby "Tom." But I think that would be a bit vain.
Finally, you've all seen that I've chosen July 4th as a possible wedding date. I know you're saying to yourselves, "Isn't that already a holiday?" Well, indeed it is -- and that's exactly why I've chosen that date. I've been told by the government that, for whatever reason, my national holiday can't be announced until after my death. So I've chosen July 4th, in order not to disturb our economy with an additional holiday. It'll be a combo day, like president's day, and the celebrations (fireworks, picnics, film festivals, and the like) won't have to change a bit. This is a pretty big concession on my part, and I'd appreciate it if you'd thank me now, while I'm still living.
(clairevoyant, the IRISH prognosticator says:)
Guinness and chocolate!!! Two of my favorite things!
(forget about raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens.)
I'm definitely looking for this!
Can they put BOOZE in ice cream? Wondering....
waidaminute. i thought tom & katie were breaking up? despite the strident denials
That is so last week, TJ. And so wrong.
The LAW says that I can't have full control of my baby until 1) The baby is birthed. 2) I am married to the woman carrying the baby. And 3) said woman is involuntarily committed to a state mental facility.
Or killed.
so clairevoyant blames her tipsy tendencies on her irish heritage? nice excuse for being a lush
Paris Hilton, let's not play games here. It was nothing but an honor for you to be included in something so special as to have my name associated with it, and a legal technicality that beings of your particular gender are allowed to participate at all.
Just discovered that the very newsy Junk Food Blog beat NYCE on this product by a couple of days. howbout a WTG to Junk Food Blog
Madpercolator makes a good point I'd never noticed about Guinness having a coffee flavor! (But wouldn't you think someone named "Madpercolator" would like TEA?)
Shouldn't The Donald be treating us all to some champagne? To celebrate Tom and Paris's awards?
If I am going to have an ice cream that tastes like beer, then I want it to be made out of this.
Oh and Newcastle had an ice cream for a while.
