Black and Tan Turtle

This video demonstrates how to pour the perfect black and tan using the Lagerhead Turtle - the Ultimate Device for creating the Classic Black and Tan. The turtle is made from Stainless Steel and is equiped with the SNAPPER Bottle opener.

Operation:

Start by selecting your beer. The canned Irish stouts brewed by Guiness®, Beamish® and Murphy's® work very well with the turtle, and are highly recommended for the top (black) layer.  Suggestions for the bottom (tan) layer can be found in the recipies listed below. 

Experimentation is Essential. Simply chill the beer, then half-fill a standard pint glass with the bottom beverage (pour a good head). Place the Laggerhead® Turtle on the rim of the glass, then gradually pour the Iris stout over the turtle's back to form the top layer.
