I don't usually say these words, because they've been turned into a political slogan. Here goes ... Follow the science!

You don't have to worry about that crap with me. Science rules.

That's great to hear. I trust you'll present your findings after the experiment phase is over?

Which beer style will you work on first? Pilsner? Stout? India pale ale?

On a somewhat related note, a stout float with ice cream made from said stout is AWESOME. It's almost too much of a good thing.

I'll be using a Hazy IPA as a control group.

Good choice.

MC, may I suggest this for your next stout float. Samuel Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout. This is the only beer I ever drink really. Boy, is it delicious! I imagine it would make a great stout float.

I've had Sam Smith's stout before, though not this organic one.

I had a float at a local brewery once, called Cartwright Springs. They made a crème brulée stout. They put that beer in an ice cream they made in house. When I visited the brewery, they were making floats with the two. Damn. It was almost a sweetness overload, but so so good.

My favourite stouts include Whitewater peanut butter shake stout (OH WOW THIS IS GOOD), St-Ambroise oatmeal stout, Calabogie brown cow and Flying Monkeys chocolate manifesto.

I think that if the stout is on the sweeter side, it would rock in any dessert.

I like the Sam Smith stout by the way. It's not always easy to find here, but I get it once in a while.

Actually, I don't find the Samuel Smith chocolate stout all that sweet. Hardly sweet at all. And the chocolate/cocoa taste is very subtle. It's the creaminess, being an oatmeal stout, that I like. Still, I'm noting the other stouts you mentioned as I'd like to try them. Thanks!
