    Made the ice cream, but totally spaced making the sauce until too late ... but NO COMPLAINTS!! Everyone who tried this loved it. I served it with a Guinness Chocolate Cake from Nigella Lawson. This is for sure a keeper and I'll make it again.

    I haven't made this yet... but for all of you who think a chocolate sauce can be made with 2 oz of chocolate instead of 20 you have obviously never made any type of chocolate sauce before (because the result would resemble chocolate milk. The point of a chocolate sauce is to be mostly chocolate with some liquid to keep it as a sauce. And no a good chocolate sauce is not cheep, but that is why it is good.

    Well, I rated the chocolate sauce at 3 stars, because I had to give it a rating, but I really haven't completed it yet. I need to purchase 18 more ounces of bittersweet chocolate! I made it with the 2 oz., and it was liquid like milk and the color of a gray rain cloud...very unappetizing! Certainly not an ice cream sauce. So, the 20 oz. of chocolate seems correct.

    The ice cream its self is good but slightly under flavored, like coffe ice cream only milder, but if you make the sauce, that's what transports it to the world of excellent. I'm thinking about making this with an oatmeal stout instead.

    The flavor of this ice cream is so good, and my friends are always excited to try it, but the first time I made it as it was written it was way too fatty for anyone to really enjoy. It literally leaves a thick film of fat on the roof of your mouth! I've found that using 2% milk and only 4 egg yolks eliminates this and still produces a really good ice cream. Also, I like to pour a little vanilla extract into the Guinness before I reduce it and that adds more yummy vanilla flavor ... Now I make it again and again!

    Though being a beer lover, I was a little apprehensive when I looked at this recipe, but I figured what the heck. And it paid off. So creamy smooth, with the sweetness of the reduced stout. The vanilla bean adds another level to it too! Didn't make the sauce, but I agree, I think it should be 2 oz. not 20!

    I have made this ice cream several times for dinner parties and absolutely everyone has given rave reviews. Now, I always double the recipe and have leftovers for myself! I have also substituted Young's Double Chocolate Stout beer and it is also wonderful!
    (I have never made the chocolate sauce due to the amount of chocolate required.

    We didn't like how this turned out. It didn't really taste like Guinness..it didn't really taste like anything! And it made our kitchen smell like a brewery! We didn't make the chocolate sauce though, maybe that was the secret.
