Working with one glass at a time, place a large tablespoon, dome-side up, 1 inch or so above lager beer, with the tip of the spoon pointed slightly downward.
Step 3
Slowly pour 1/2 of the stout beer over the tablespoon so it gently pours down the side of the glass in a thick trickle. Allow to stand until 2 distinct layers of beer form, 3 to 5 seconds. Repeat with the remaining glass of beer.

Stout is a dark, full-bodied beer that is typically brewed with roasted malts, giving it a rich, coffee-like flavor with hints of chocolate and caramel. It is often associated with Ireland and is known for its creamy texture and smooth finish. On the other hand, ale is a broad category of beer that encompasses a wide range of styles, including pale ales, brown ales, and India pale ales (IPAs). Ales are typically brewed with top-fermenting yeast, resulting in a more robust and complex flavor profile compared to lagers. Regardless of their differences, both stout and ale offer beer drinkers a diverse range of flavors and styles to explore and enjoy.
