Beer floats

Serves 4

4	bottles (12 ounces each) rich, dark beer such as Mackeson's Triple Stout
1	pint high-quality vanilla ice cream

1. Chill 4 tall beer glasses (16 ounces each).

2. Working with one glass at a time, hold the glass at an angle. Gently pour the beer from the bottle down the side of the glass to keep a head from forming. Repeat with the other 3 bottles.

3. Add scoops of ice cream to each glass. Serve at once.
