Black And Tan

From Cocktails Wiki

"Gentlemen, behold! It's black... and tan! Now, if only we could think up a name..."

Is a Black And Tan really a beer, as that's what it's made of? Or is it a cocktail since you're mixing various ingredients? It's a mystery that has literally (not literally) confounded the ages. Anyway, here's the basic recipe, as it's a pretty well-known beverage.

[edit] Ingredients

• 1 Part Bass® Pale Ale (or any pale ale)
• 1 Part Guinness® Stout (again, any stout, but Guinness is usually preferred)

[edit] Directions

• Fill a glass beer stein half full with Bass.
• Next pour Guiness over a spoon slowly until glass is full.
• If done correctly the Guiness will stay on top and the Bass on bottom, hence the name Black & Tan.
