BLACK AND TAN RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Fill a pint glass halfway with the pale ale.
• Float the Guinness on top by slowly pouring it over the back of a spoon to fill the glass. Serve and enjoy.

BLACK-AND-TAN PORK WITH SPICY ALE SLAW

Steps:

• Prepare the pork: Combine the ale, five-spice powder, cayenne and salt and black pepper to taste in a large resealable plastic bag. Reserve 1/4 cup marinade for the slaw. Add the pork to the bag and mix well. Refrigerate 2 to 6 hours.
• Make the glaze: Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon each stout and brown sugar and cook 4 minutes. Add all but 2 tablespoons of the remaining stout, the honey, the remaining 3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons brown sugar and the ginger. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring, then lower the heat to medium and simmer until reduced by half, 15 to 20 minutes. Whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons stout and the cornstarch in a bowl; slowly stir into the glaze and boil 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Remove the pork from the marinade and transfer to a baking dish. Bake until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 160 degrees F, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the slaw: Whisk the soy sauce, honey, garlic and ginger in a large bowl. Whisk in the reserved 1/4 cup marinade. Add the cabbage, bell peppers, carrots and onion and toss. Refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 30 minutes.
• Slice the pork and serve with the slaw. Drizzle both the pork and slaw with the glaze.

BLACK AND TANS

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and position a rack in the middle. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan.
• Pour the batter into the baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a rack.
• To assemble the black & tans: Invert the cooled cake onto a work surface and cut it into 6 equal rectangles. Cut each rectangle into squares about the size of ice cubes. Set out six Pilsner or similar glasses. Put 2 rounded scoops of ice cream into each glass. Divide the cake cubes evenly among the glasses, then add 1/2 scoop of ice cream to each glass, mounding it slightly in the center. Top with softly whipped cream to look like the frothy head on a pint of stout, allowing a drip to edge over the side. Serve immediately.
• Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt onto a piece of waxed paper or into a medium bowl.
• With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the oil, beating well. Beat in the egg, then the vanilla. On low speed, add the dry ingredients in 3 batches, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, scraping down the sides of the bowl and mixing just until the batter is smooth.

STOUT AND ALE

Steps:

• Gently pour half the lager beer into a tall beer glass. Place a large tablespoon, dome side up, an inch or so above the lager beer, with the tip of the spoon pointed slightly downhill. Slowly pour half the stout beer over the tablespoon, so the stout gently pours down the side of the glass in a thick trickle. Allow to stand a few seconds so 2 distinct layers of beer form.

BLACK AND BERRY (BEER)

Steps:

• Pour all of your 6oz frambois into a pint glass.
• Using a spoon to defuse, slowly pour guinness over back of spoon. Let settle a few minutes.
• It takes a few tries and a steady hand to get a perfect pour, but it tastes great whether you've got the layering effect down or not.
• You can substitute Lindman's other flavors such as Pomme (apple), Cassis (black currant)(my second favorite), Kriek (cherry), or Peche (Peach).
• Also try with double chocolate stout instead of guinness.
• I like to use large wine glasses and layer for dinner parties. A very nice presentation for after dinner as a sort of dessert.
