Wouldn't that be NOT a black and tan????   Weren't they the bad guys in Ireland in the 20's?

Hell,  I don't know.  I was just talking about a drink. Half stout and half Guiness (or something like that).

I was going to say that it should at least be a black and tan!

Unfortunately the little furry bast%^d  >:(drank all the black and tan before I woke up!! So now I'm stuck with the plain Guinness Draught. As to questions about black and tan see below.

Q: 
What is a Black & Tan?
What is a Half-and-Half?

A:
The answer depends on who you ask. The all-Guinness Black & Tan is Harp's Lager and Guinness. (Harp's is brewed by Guinness at Dundalk). Many consider the classic Black & Tan to be Bass Pale Ale and Guinness. (To some Irish, they appreciate the fact that the Irish comes out on top!) However, Bass Ale is not as available in Ireland as it used to be, and either Harp or Smithwicks is generally used. However, there are many variations involving a stout or porter and another lighter coloured beer, either lager or ale.

A half-and-half is often just another name for a Black & Tan. However, in many North American Irish pubs, the Bass/Guinness combination is called a Black & Tan, while the Harp/Guinness combination is called a Half-and-Half.

To quote Brendan E. Molloy b.molloy@ic.ac.uk: according to "The Guinness Drinking Companion" by Leslie Dunkling:
