I've thrown one up. It wasn't nice. The actual drinking part I remember being fairly good, though.

That actually makes a lot of sense considering how well granny smith apples go with Guinness. Never had one but I'm gonna make one some time now.

Is it layered like a black and tan or is it mixed?

i'm not sure what a black and tan is, but you pour the guinness first and then the cider. it mixes pretty well. i think a little of the cider stays at the top. delish!!!!

Black velvet

'The heritage and history of Black Velvet? Canadian Whisky spans fifty years of master craftsmanship and dedication to quality. Black Velvet uses only the finest rye grains, corn and crystal clear Canadian waters to make a unique whisky known throughout the world for its velvety smoothness and premium quality. Originally called ?Black Label,? the name was changed to ?Black Velvet? at the suggestion of Jack Napier to reflect its uncommon velvety taste and smoothness.

Brand Name: Black Velvet
Category: Canadian Whisky
% Alcohol/Volume: 40% Alc./Vol.

In the late 1940?s, the Master Distiller Jack Napier discovered that by carefully blending his finest barrels of Canadian whisky he could create a uniquely smooth product.

The Manitoba Liquor board submitted the first order for Black Velvet. As fate would have it, Manitoba?s liquor laws at the time mandated that each bottle of spirits be individually boxed when sold. With no boxes available to complete the order on time, a local supplier suggested substituting a cylinder instead. The unique packaging became synonymous with the brand and is still available by special order today'
