I think I would like that better as an ice cream. I'm just not a big porter or stout fan...... (as an aside, I had a waiter tell me a bock they had on tap was like a Guinness. Really, I said, and how is that? They're both dark.....ARGH. I responded that I didn't think bocks were like stouts at all - and after I tasted the bock - which was yummy - I am sticking with my original assertion:evillaugh)
