Beer floats

I used to joke about real beer floats, a "real man's drink", when you've finally outgrown root beer. Then I stumbled across this:

I'm not sure whether to believe it or not.

My favorite local pub makes them as a dessert. I have yet to try one because their homemade carrot cake is so damn good. :mrgreen:

Tin Roof Sundae and stout beer... hmm... haven't tried it, but...

It makes me think of opening a national chain. If an ice cream parlor held a beer and wine license, one could offer some fun combinations:

What Road? (Rocky Road and Lambic)

Hefeweise ice (German Wheat and Spumoni)

Boysen-beer-y (Boysenberry ice cream and Guinness)

Van-ale-a (Vanilla and IPA)

Name the place Hops-n-Robbins and promote it with something like "31 flavors you won't remember".
