Beer floats? Blearg. BLEARG. I'm actively repulsed by the flavor and smell of beer and ice cream makes me ill enough I cannot view it at all fondly. Together is just...blearf.

Did Tom tell you I also picked up the Harpoon Raspberry Heiffeweizen on Saturday to give it a try? I like it, but it's much more raspberry than 'weizen (which is probably WHY I like it). Seadog up in Maine does a very similar raspberry wheat beer.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Oh, I meant to tell you. Frank bought a pint of that on Saturday. Looks awesome. It has fudge cows in it.
The black and tan ice cream reminds me of a flavour they used to have around here from "Jeremy's Micro-Batch" ice cream. It was vanilla (or malted milk) with a sweet stout syrup swirl and pretzels. So very good.

Oh, dang, that ice cream sounds good.
I like more weizen than rasberry, but I do want to try it sometime.

I just learned that the word for astronomy in Dutch is sterrenkunde. Which is rather charming. ( ~ star knowledge)

It's definitely not shy about its raspberry flavor, although not to framboise extremes, but it's also nice and dry considering it's raspberry, and not at all perfumey the way I find some fruit beers.

Stout doesn't really smell like beer, though. Coffee/chocolatish overtones, actually.
If I can handle the political implications of drinking black and tans, I think I'll manage to deal with the ice cream.
(Though I don't often, after I noticed that I generally got half way through one and going "want more stout!" Now I just cut out the middle man, so to speak.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Hell, even root beer mixed with ice cream seems wronger than a wrong thing to me.
Root beer floats are among the best things ever invented.

Amy's Ice Cream here in Austin occasionally sells Cream Stout ice cream, which is decent, but not as good as one would hope.
Nothing to see here. Nope. Just another one of the whole sick crew....
