Ensure both beers are well-chilled for optimal layering and flavor. The key to a perfect layer is a slow and steady pour of the stout. Experiment with different lagers and stouts to find your favorite combination. Some prefer a lighter lager for a more pronounced contrast. For a smoother pour, use a bar spoon with a twisted handle. The twist helps to diffuse the stout as it flows into the glass.
