"This is the perfect tool to produce an incredible black & tan! Liked it so much I ordered a second one! The buyer provided excellent service! Thanks! "
   *Deborah  - Shannon QC
"So I was one who struggled to use a Spoon to do the typical Black and Tan, so while searching i came across this little jewel, and as many have said before me this make a great black and tan! Fits on every glass i have put it on and is a real good conversation piece at get togethers! Want someone to make your drinks for you? bring this along and everyone will want to try it out!

Note: to those thinking about using it, make sure you have a good head on the tan beer before pouring the black, this helps the black sit on top of the tan, keep that in mind and this will work every time for you!"

"Perfect tool and easier to use than a spoon.....everyone at the party wanted one after they saw it in use..... "
   *Mark - Naperville, IL
"Throughout my drinking years, I've partaken in numerous Black and Tans. I've poured over spoons, turtles, measuring cups and just about anything to create the perfect B&T. You folks hit the jackpot.... The Perfect B&T is simple, quick, and gets the job done with perfection. Just want to thank you for a great product and plenty of perfect B&T in the future. "

"I bought The Perfect Black and Tan for my boyfriend for Christmas. He loves it! Even a non beer drinker like myself can make a black and tan! This tool is seriously awesome. We love it. Thank you!"

"This works as described. If you like a black and ANYTHING, this will help you achieve exactly what you are trying to accomplish. I have tried others with some success, but none work as well as this one. Great product! My brother bought me the turtle for Christmas, and in my opinion, it pales in comparison. I'm going to use the Perfect Black and Tan today with some Great Lakes Brewing Company - Conway's Irish Ale... It was awesome over the Holidays making "Black Christmas"!! Thanks again for making a dynamite device!"

"THIS TOOL REALLY DOES WORK!!   I have tried for years using the spoon that you balance on the lip of the glass and was only successful a couple of times. Usually the Guinness just mixed with the Bass Ale and the whole glass was black, never layered. Using your tool that has never happened and I always get "A Perfect Black and Tan".  Also, after reading some of the reviews on your site I switched from bottled Guinness to cans and that helps also. Many thanks for creating something that really works as advertised and is important for legions of Black and Tan beer fans."
     * Walter - Oro Valley, AZ
"My wife recently surprised me with the Black and Tan Tool.  I like to order Black and Tans (and Belgian Brunettes) at some of my favorite taverns but always had mediocre results when I tried to pour my own.  The Tool worked perfectly the first time I used it.  I also learned that for some reason, Guinness Draught in the can works much better than Guinness Draught in the bottle.  Don't know why that would be.  I also visited your website and look forward to trying some other recipes for layered beers.  Anyway, thanks for your product and it will be used quite regularly in my house."

"I really like Black and Tans or Snakebites. I've been fighting Guinness spoons for some time now and decided to try this out. This thing really works! Worth the money for sure."

"We tried every way to make a perfect black and tan...finally we can make one with this tool. I love it."

"My husband loves this product. He made a perfect Black and Tan the first time using "The Perfect Black and Tan" tool. Lot's of smiles and kisses for me."
         *Deloras - Arcadia, WI
"This Guinness layering tool works perfectly. Its going to be put to good use! Its a huge improvement over the spoon."
        *Dan - Atlanta, GA
"After making poor black and tans for years, I finally decided to buy a proper implement for St. Patrick's Day this year. I bought both the perfect black and tan as well as the turtle. The turtle was not much better than a regular spoon, but the Perfect Black and Tan worked every time. You cannot pour too fast it really does work every time. Just make sure to get Guinness out of the can and not the bottle."
        * Dan - Washington, DC
"I bought this for my guy who LOVES his black and tans, and this one is really fun and works great!! Delivery was fast, too!"
        * Tessa - CO
I was considering other Black and Tan tools before I came across this one. Looking at the images it just made sense that this version would produce the best results. Make sure to leave a little head on the 'tan' so the 'black' has something to drip onto and not break the barrier. It's very easy to get great results on each pour."

"The great thing about this device is that you can set it on top of the glass and just pour with one hand. There is one caveat though, if the rim of the glass is perfect flat then you need to tilt the device slightly to prevent an air lock. As others have written, it is best to get a bit of head on the Harp/Bass/Smithfields before you pour the Guinness. I must have made 50 B&T's this past St. Patrick's Day and sent several of my buds to Amazon to get their own tool! When all is said and done you will have the PERFECT BLACK & TAN!!!!!"
           * Larry - Encinitas, CA
"Seriously, I looked all over and this tool is the best. Way better than spoons, and now I can drink black and tans from the comfort of my own home, and can easily justify 5 or 6 at a time instead of just one at the restaurant!!!! Its already paid for itself. Thanks!!!!"

"Great product. I'm not a Black and Tan drinker just yet but I'm a huge fan of Snakebites, Guinness and Cider. Made a couple of pouring spoons and they worked but were more trouble then they were worth. Hopped on Amazon to order some manufactured ones and came across this as well as the turtle. Never tried the turtle before but this one just caught my eye and I ended up purchasing it. Quick shipping and product arrived with no damages or defects. Put it to use immediately.

I've got a little work to do on getting the ratios right since I purchased new pint glasses as well, but I'm completely satisfied. The tool is oversized so it fits all the glasses I've tried it on."

"No complaints, this thing works for me. It's another variation of a layering tool and like the standard Guinness spoon and the BruTool, I've had pretty good success with this device. Beer layering tools make for great stocking-stuffers for all of your beer drinking buddies. They'll react like you just gave them something that cost $500. For under $10, you can't go wrong. Happy pouring!"

"I can now make a perfect black & tan every time! I will admit I was skeptical when ordering but now I am ordering one as a gift!"
            * Bob
"The item is exactly like described and pours an awesome black and tan in a proper Guinness pint glass. Be sure to have a nice head on the bottom layer to ensure perfect layering."
            *Nathan - Rochester MN
"I bought this for my husband. He wanted something to help him make a black & tan at home. He had used the back of a spoon (which is kinda the same thing as using a turtle) & it just doesn't work right. But with this product, it's completely different! He's so funny now when he makes a black & tan. He has to show me how "perfect" the line is. This thing really does make the PERFECT black & tan!"
           *Ann - Houston TX
"I never write reviews but wanted to take a few seconds for this product. Simply put, this item is great. PERFECT on first pour. Drink looked like something you would see in a bartender's book. Even took pictures on my phone to send to my buddies. I thought I made a nice looking drink using a spoon but I'll tell you now, I'll never go back. Great product, nice price.....Highly recommend to everyone who likes to fool around making layered drinks. I was just about to buy that turtle device but at the last second I came across this product. So glad I did. Love little tools like this that actually work! A++++++"

"It just works! Finally I can make my own. Thank you."

"This gadget works! My wife now thinks I make a better Black and Tan than most Pubs we have visited."
           *Stuart - Surrey, BC
"I have used a couple different black and tan tools and this one makes the best black and tan hands down. Simply pour your Guinness as fast as the tool can handle it and voila! Perfect black and tan."
           *Daniel - MI
"I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend. The shipping was prompt and the item was perfect for pouring a black and tan. If you want to pour a black and tan you should buy this. We also own the turtle and the Guinness pouring spoon. This black/tan pourer gives you the perfect pour. Zero negative feedback. 100% positive feedback. Great item. Great company."
           *Sarah - MO
"Received "tool" very quickly, actually before arrival estimate. Works perfectly no need for instruction. Used it with Guinness and Bass ale and the separation was immaculate. Worth the money 100%. My girlfriend took one look at it and had to try one for herself. Highly recommended."

"I purchased the Perfect Black and Tan to pay tribute to a dear friend who loves Black and Tans. It arrived in just a few days, in time for his visit. I asked him if I could make his favorite drink and when he learned it was a Black and Tan he wanted to help. With the great tool, it was so simple and he was very impressed. We both enjoyed our Black and Tans thanks to "The Perfect Black and Tan" tool."
           *David - Oakland, NJ
"I have purchased several different types of layering tools, and this is the last, because it is hands-down the best! It is so much easier to use than the spoon or turtle. It is virtually impossible to mess up a black and tan with this tool. I highly recommend it!"
           *Ian - Orange, CA
"I received this delightful, attractively designed and well engineered stainless steel device on-time and well packaged such that shipping-related damage would be extremely unlikely. It is completely successful using Guinness Stout in cans with Bass ale or two other brands of light ale. I will test with other combinations."
           *Paul - Old Hickory, TN
"I had tried a variety of mixology tools to make a Black and Tan. Nothing really worked well and a lot of lager was spilled in the process. That is, until I found this tool, The Perfect Black and Tan Beer Layering Tool. It worked even better than advertised and makes a perfect B&T everytime. Moreoever, it can be used to help layer other types of drinks as well. Great tool at a great price!"

"Product was supposed to be received within 7 - 12 days after ordering. It was waiting for me in my mailbox on the 7th day when I got home. I ordered two, one for me and one for my brother in law. Both arrived in perfect condition. I really like the laser etched lettering along the rim. It fits perfectly on all my glasses. I have tried it on my Sam Adams glasses, my american sized pint glasses, and my big liter sized mugs/steins. When pouring the top layer with,typically with Guinness, it controls the flow very will. I have tried with a few different beers and they all pour to perfection. Much cleaner than trying to use a layering spoon. No spill no mess. My brother in law has used his multiple times and loves it. He said it was one of the best gifts he has received in a while. I would suggest this to any beer lover, and suggest you buy this as a gift for the beer lover in your life."

"Works so much better than I was expecting. I've used a Guinness pouring spoon for years, and am now angry at how inefficient it seems in comparison (similar to my feelings on chopsticks vs. forks).

When I ordered this I assumed I would have to find "that perfect glass" in my bar that it would fit. So wrong. It's a very smart design -- the underside has just enough slope to it that it fits the opening of every glass size and style I tried, including goblets. Out of curiosity I tried doing the same thing with one of those metal stoppers/drains from a kitchen sink to see if that worked, but it's far too large in diameter.

Customer service was great, shipping was fast, product works. Many thanks!"

"I had attempted to make black and tans in the past, but with only mild success. While sitting around with some friends drinking Guinness one evening, the subject came up and I was on my phone researching "the perfect black and tan". Little did I know you had recently developed a product by that very name! I bookmarked the site and ordered one the following morning.

The layering tool arrived within a couple of days (faster than expected!) and in perfect condition (honestly, it's stainless steel - the postman would have had to work to damage this thing!) I had nothing on hand to try it with, so obviously I had to make a trip to the package store on base to load up on Guinness and Harp! The results were beautiful the very first time - and every time since. Since then, I've made a LOT of Guinness/Harp black and tans, and since a waiter in Virginia had once recommended Guinness and Dogfish Head Ale to me, I've made a few of those as well (yum). I'll be trying out some of the combinations you recommend on your site next, always a pleasure finding new tasty beer combinations!

The tool is well worth the price - in fact, I wish I had found this before I ever invested in the flimsy little "turtle" last year. It's well made, solid (did I mention stainless steel?) and has that cool factor that makes everyone stop and watch it work. A perfect stocking stuffer for anyone who enjoys a "fancy" beer now and then!"
