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.

Cute gift for black & tan lovers May 22, 2005
By Matthew Chalmers 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.

Great product for an easy to make Black and Tan Mar 10, 2008
By Niels Kohl 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!!

Half & Half Easier to make Jan 14, 2008
By Marvin G. Wilsey 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...
