Instructions
- Begin by pouring the pale ale into a pint glass, filling it halfway. This will serve as the base for your layered drink.
- Over the back of a bar spoon (or layering tool), slowly pour the stout onto the pale ale. This technique helps create a distinct layer due to the difference in density between the beers.
- Allow the beer to settle slightly before serving.
