I was just reading about Guinness earlier today.
I read that in Ireland they just pour the two together so they mix. The layered thing is a showy American invention.

It doesn't really matter, but harp and guinness is often called half and half since they are both made by guinness and bass and guinness is often called black and tan, but the terms can be interchangeable. Actually they only have to use a stout. It doesn't have to be guinness, but that's just crazy.

I'm more of an "Extra Stout" guy myself. Apparently there are 19 different varieties of guinness. Some are regional. There's even something that's basically a guinness float. Yep, got ice cream in it. I bought some vanilla tonight. Tomorrow I'm going to give it a shot.
