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.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 oz. coffee liqueur (preferably Fair Café)
2 scoops vanilla ice cream
6 oz. stout (I like Young's Double Chocolate)
Unsweetened whipped cream flavored with vanilla seeds
Dark chocolate for grating

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.
