Black & Tan

A classic layered beer cocktail that combines the crisp bitterness of a pale ale with the creamy, roasted notes of a stout. When poured correctly over a spoon, the lighter pale ale remains at the bottom while the dark stout floats on top, creating a striking visual contrast and a complex drinking experience.

Ingredients

• 8 OZ Bass Pale Ale
• 8 OZ Guinness Stout

How to Make It

1. Tilt the pint glass and pour the Bass Pale Ale inside until the glass is approximately half full.
2. Allow the head of the pale ale to settle slightly.
3. Hold a spoon upside down, placing the tip against the inside of the glass, just above the layer of the pale ale.
4. Slowly pour the Guinness Stout over the back of the spoon to gently disperse the liquid and prevent the beers from mixing.
5. Continue pouring until the glass is full, ensuring the black stout floats on top of the tan ale.
