"Black and Tan" variations

A Black and Tan is not a traditional cocktail, since it is made with beer only, but I thought I'd post a few variations of the drink that I enjoy.  All of these drinks are made the same way, by layering a dark beer (typically Guinness) over a pale beer, only the ingredients differ.  So, I'll provide the instructions first, and then the list of variations with their ingredients.

Instructions:
  1. Fill a pint glass half way with pale ale, lager, etc.
  2. Float a half pint of stout to fill the glass by pouring over an upside-down spoon.
Black and Tan:  Bass Pale Ale and Guinness

Half and Half:  Harp Lager and Guinness

Blacksmith:  Smithwicks and Guinness

Snakebite:  Hard cider and Guinness
