It all started last week at the beer bash at koyote's work. They served ice cream. Someone started talking about having a beer float. We both said, "yuck".

Last night we had cherry lambic. I mentioned that if any beer would be decent for a float, this would be it.

koyote suggested Cherry Garcia. I thought that would be too much cherry, so he suggested plain old chocolate chip, making it Cherry Garcia-esque overall.

Tonight we got more lambic and some chocolate chip ice cream (Breyer's, two cartons for the price of one at Harris Teeter!)

It turned out pretty good.

which lambic, lindeman's? wonder what ice cream flavor goes well with black currant .. probably not pistachio or butter rum!

Yup, Lindeman's.

We decided that plain vanilla would go best with peach.

At the bakery, I learned that a slight hint of almond *anything* (almond cream, pure almond extract, ground almonds) added to cherry *anything* enhances the cherry flavor. It seemed odd, but I tried it and it really does work.
