Chocolate Beer Floats (Adults Only!)

Created by KittenCal on December 5, 2013

FOR THE FLOATS
6 tablespoon Kahlúa (or other coffee liqueur)
3 cups ice cream, divided (six 1/2 heaping cup scoops chocolate ice cream, or use more than 1/2 cup)
2 pints beer, stout (3 bottles/12 ounce each bottles, well chilled)
Whipped cream, optional

Step 1: TO MAKE THE SYRUP; put the cocoa powder in a small bowl. Combine the sugar, salt, and water in a small saucepan, bring to a low bowl, and boil for 2 minutes. Whisk enough of the hot syrup into the cocoa to form a smooth paste, then whisk in the remaining syrup. Stir in the vanilla. Let cool.
Step 2: *TO MAKE THE FLOATS* pour a tablespoon of cocoa syrup and a tablespoon of coffee liqueur into each of six tall 10-12 ounce chilled tall glasses. Add the scoops of ice cream. Add the stout, pouring it gently down the side of each tilted glass to prevent too much head from forming.
Step 3: Top each float with a dollop of whipped cream, then drizzle with a little more cocoa syrup.
Step 4: Serve immediately with straws and long-handled spoons.
