Product Description

The Black and Tan Turtle is the ultimate device for creating classic Black and Tans and other layered beers. Formed from premium-grade stainless steel, the endangered Macroclemys temminicki (alligator snapping turtle) is known to be the animal most closely resembling a black-and-tan spoon in nature, possessing the shell-shape, claws and snappers to be a natural for the job! Perhaps this makes the alligator snapping turtle the stout-lover's best friend. The claws fit perfectly on a pint glass, the body transforms a stream of stout into tiny rivulets which facilitate layering. The mouth of the snapper makes for a handy bottle opener, too. And for animal lovers and those concerned with natural environments, portions of the proceeds from every purchase of this hip, dual-function tool go to the Lagerhead Foundation, an organization dedicated to turtle habitat conservation and restoration projects. Last but not least, this snappy guy comes packaged with recipes for ten different half-and-half drinks. A must-have for the stout at heart.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute gift for black & tan lovers May 22, 2005
This makes a very cute and inexpensive gift for black & tan (or half & half, blacksmith, snake bite, etc.) lovers. I was thrilled to get one, even though it's not quite as good for pour-overs as a bent tablespoon, since it sits at the very top of the glass. It does work though, plus it doubles as a bottle opener and keeps wives from getting upset over ruined spoons. Durable and dishwasher safe too. Great gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product for an easy to make Black and Tan March 9, 2008
This is a great product to make Black and Tan beers at home. Simply take a standard pint mug, fill it halfway up with the ale of your preference (I recommend Bass or Smithwicks), put the "Black and Tan Turtle" on the top of the mug and pour the freshly opened can or bottle of Guinness on top of the turtle and it makes the perfectly separated black and tan. Great product and easy to use! Enjoy!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Half & Half Easier to make January 13, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase
Lagerhead Black & Tan Turtle: This is a great option for creating a Black&Tan or Half&Half.... My very first effort was a beautiful glass of Guinness and Bass Ale, the second creation was Guinness and Harp... I am convince the Turtle is definately better than the old upside down spoon...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great bar tool, fun and easy to use. March 8, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase
I am a true fan of the Lagerhead Black and Tan turtle! It works great and is easier and more entertaining to bring out than a typical black and tan spoon. If you enjoy making your own layered beer beverages (the package comes with recipes for other options than a typical american style black and tan) than this is the product to own. The only time this doesn't work perfectly is when the nitrogen cartridge in the bottle or can of Guinness doesn't activate properly, and in that case it is not a Lagerhead design flaw. I bought one, and now most of my friends did too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works best with Guinness in cans (nitrogen ball) September 19, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Love the turtle - named ours "Tippy". After drinking several "muddy" attempts to pour a Black and Tan, we finally tried the canned Guinness with the nitrogen ball. That did the trick, and now we pour absolutely perfectly layered beers.

Love the Turtle. Also like the fact that the head of the turtle is the bottle opener and it fits like a glove on top of my offficial Guinness glasses.

Great idea. I like turtles (LOL). Works well and is in my not very humble opinion much easier to use than a spoon.

The card has recipes on it, and the Turtle does a great job of layering the beer. Might buy a couple more for gifts.

This works great, but you really need to use canned Guiness, not bottled. I got a few as gifts for friends and they live them too!
