Guiness Ice Cream

[inkkognito]

I made an interesting discovery yesterday. The gelato place inside Luigi's has Guiness ice cream. Yes, as in flavored like the beer! I know that might sound gross, but it's actually quite delicious. They used to have it at an Irish restaurant when I lived in Chicago, but they got rid of it years ago and I haven't had it since then...till now. If you're an adventurous ice cream lover, check it out. They will let you try a taste spoon to see if you like it. I'm kinda surprised they don't offer it in Finnegans.

I've never heard of Guiness ice cream.

I think Ben&Jerry's has a Guiness ice cream as well. I think it is called Black and Tan. I have not tasted it but I'm going to give a try next time I see it.

It is soooo good! I think it might be Louies, not Luigi's?! It's the Italian place going toward Amity...I never ate there before so I don't really know the name. The gelato counter is separate from the big pizza counter.

But keep in mind I like other weird flavors like red bean, green tea, and sour yogurt ice cream so your own mileage may vary. I'm gonna get me a big ol' scoop next Thurs. at HHN.

I think you are right its Louies' I saw the gelato sign when we were going to Finn's.

Never liked Guinness so reckon i will give it a miss.
inkkognito, Guiness is not beer its a stout - do not let Guinness drinkers here you calling it a Beer.

 

[inkkognito]

Uh oh, I stand corrected! Since you're from Ireland I will take your word for it

 

[minniejack]

If you think about Guinness sorta does taste a bit like coffee. They have coffee ice cream why not beer? Hope it's still there at Christmas to try.

 

[MelanieC]

ooh - Not a beer drinker, but I like try different things. I'll have to check this out next summer. yummy!

Yeah the name didn't go down well in Ireland. To be honest state side i haven't had a decent pint of Guinness so i can only imagine how the ice cream tastes

does anyone remember baskin robbins champagne flavored ice cream--we don't have the 31 flavors around here anymore--so I don't know if they still carry it, but it was delish.

Thanks for the tip, I love Guinness so I'll be sure to give it a try!

I got a friend thats from England and only drinks Guinness.Got to say its a acquired taste,espiacally warm.But thats how its drank.Gave me a buzz after my second pint!!

He has got a keg and goes thru a keg every month and a half..I think it goes better with steak then by itself..IMO

 

[rpbert1]

Warm Guinness must be an English thing, never heard of anyone drinking it warm, its bad enough cold.
Only decent place for a Guinness is Ireland especially around Dublin Area-sorry and Portlaoise area Ron Burgundy

 

[vinvader]

Hmmmm, can't say I've ever tried warm Guinness, I prefer Guinness Extra Cold on tap.

Eh warm Guinness, any more jokes

Being a keen stout drinker myself i can say that warm ain't the way to drink it. Oh and an English man giving advice on it is even funnier

Oh the Guinness in Portlaoise ain't bad at all. But i'll stick to my local in Portarlington.
