Ingredients

• 1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle lager beer (such as Harp®)
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle Irish stout beer (such as Guinness®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Divide lager beer evenly between 2 tall beer glasses.

Step 2

Working with one glass at a time, place a large tablespoon, dome-side up, 1 inch or so above lager beer, with the tip of the spoon pointed slightly downward.

Step 3

Slowly pour 1/2 of the stout beer over the tablespoon so it gently pours down the side of the glass in a thick trickle. Allow to stand until 2 distinct layers of beer form, 3 to 5 seconds. Repeat with the remaining glass of beer.
