The catch is that it may only available for a limited time.
Mitchell's Ice Cream, which now has four locations in the Cleveland area, has been our favorite ice cream place for a couple of years now. Their ice cream is creamy and delicious, their milkshakes and malts are incredible, and the Beachwood location has toy train that they turn on when kiddies walk in (that's no small attraction when you have a two year old).
Mitchell's has always had two or three special, limited time flavors on the menu, which have sometimes been good and sometimes just a little too ... out there (I'm talking about you, roasted garlic ice cream: interesting to have a spoonful of, but no way could I have gotten through an entire scoop).
But now, Mitchell's has this big long list special flavors, outside of their usual tasty menu. Some of the flavors I don't need to try again - the caramel sea salt, for example. On paper it sounded like something I'd love love love, but the result was a bit too salty and a bit too caramel - it's a flavor for gelato, for an extra small scoop that you pair directly with a scoop of something very fruity.
On the other hand, they have some really good and interesting flavors that are well worth another try - the Irish Whiskey and Butter Toffee is delicious (and more whiskey-ish than I anticipated!) and the Guinness and Dark Chocolate was wonderful.
But the best one of all is the Belgian Dark Chocolate. Their regular chocolate ice cream is already really good - this one, though, is incredible. Smooth, rich, and dark, complex without being too complicated, the Belgian Dark Chocolate just might be the best ice cream we've ever had.
It's so good that Foodgoat had to ask how long it would be on the menu, and when he was advised that he'd "better stock up now," he took that to mean that what they had on hand was what they had, and so now we have three boxes of it hoarded carefully in our freezer. And we're contemplating buying more.
