Two staples of the recording engineer combined into one. I found Ben & Jerry's Black and Tan at the grocery store yesterday and I just had to try it:

 

From the descrption on B&J web site:

 

We've no idea how many Ben & Jerry's fans might also be beer enthusiasts, but we suspect that once you've tasted this incredibly heady blend of real cream stout and chocolate ice creams, you'll soon be raising more than a few pints of Black & Tan

Ben & Jerry's new flavour leaves bad taste


Owen Bowcott, Ireland correspondent

Wednesday April 19, 2006

The Guardian


Ben & Jerry's, the socially aware ice-cream maker, has apologised to Irish consumers for launching a new flavour evoking the worst days of British military oppression.


Tubs of Black and Tan ice-cream have gone on sale this month and prompted complaints that the phrase is not just the name for mixing stout with pale ale.


Black and Tans, irate customers explained, was the term for an irregular force of British ex-servicemen recruited during the Irish war of independence and renowned for their brutality, including the 1920 massacre of 12 people at a Dublin football match. The new flavour is only available in the US at present.--

This brings back memories. When I was a kid, we used to gather at the Lake Michigan lakefront to party. On hot summer nights, the "lakefront sundae" was a staple - little dishes of ice cream that we added beer to. Good stuff.
