D'Oh! Beer-Doughnut Ice Cream?

As part of the epic celebration/promotion of the upcoming Simpsons movie, Ben & Jerry's will share a very special creation with the masses at the film's Springfield, VT premiere: a Homer-inspired beer and doughnut ice cream:

The flavor, called Duff & D'oh-Nuts, is described by the company as a combination of chocolate and cream stout ice creams with glazed chocolate doughnuts. Homer Simpson, the overweight, dopey father in the longstanding popular Fox cartoon, has a penchant for beer and doughnuts.
Like most people, we had a knee-jerk reaction of disgust, picturing Budweiser-soaked jelly doughnuts, but the combo actually sounds pretty good, with the glazed chocolate doughnuts complementing the stout, playing the role of brownie bites/cookies that we love in these nouveau ice cream flavors. We have faith in Ben & Jerry. Ben more so than Jerry, but whatever.

What's the oddest ice cream flavor you've tasted?
