The GUINNESS Pouring Spoon is mainly used to prepare the following drinks:

So there you go! The Guinness Pouring Spoon, ladies and gentlemen. Try serving your Black and Tan with the Irish O’reo Cookies. You won’t regret it.
Haunting Status: The Guinness Pouring Spoon is probably haunted by the term “Black and Tan”, which isn’t apparently used in Ireland. The layering of a stout over a lager is simply called “half and half”.
Sláinte!
