Brutool Lagerhead Black & Tan Turtle
Brutool Lagerhead Black & Tan Turtle
The Black and Tan Turtle is the ultimate device for creating classic Black and Tans and other layered beers. Formed from premium-grade stainless steel, the endangered Macroclemys temminicki (alligator snapping turtle) is known to be the animal most closely resembling a black-and-tan spoon in nature, possessing the shell-shape, claws and snappers to be a natural for the job! Perhaps this makes the alligator snapping turtle the stout-lover’s best friend. The claws fit perfectly on a pint glass, the body transforms a stream of stout into tiny rivulets which facilitate layering. The mouth of the snapper makes for a handy bottle opener, too. And for animal lovers and those concerned with natural environments, portions of the proceeds from every purchase of this hip, dual-function tool go to the Lagerhead Foundation, an organization dedicated to turtle habitat conservation and restoration projects. Last but not least, this snappy guy comes packaged with recipes for ten different half-and-half drinks. A must-have for the stout at heart.
User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars Nicely done, but with some issues
I made several nice pours using Guiness and a variety of “tans” including cider; however, it really did not like it when I used something like a Sam Adams dark beer. It mixed as if the turtle did not exist.
As long as you stick with those beers on their packaging, it is a great little contraption!
5 Stars If you like black & tans this is the tool for you.
I purchased one for myself and another three as gifts. The people that received the gifts were very happy. This brutool works great. There are also reciepies on the back of the package that tells you how to make several different drinks. Like a half and half or a patroit. Bottoms up.
5 Stars Perfect Pour
Works like a charm. I was a little skeptical, but I thought I’d give it a try. It arrived, I washed it, then poured a perfect black and tan. Also has some good suggestions on the packaging for other drinks that can be made using the Brutool. My only regret is that I didn’t think of this and make millions.
5 Stars Great stocking stuffer
I just bought this for my husband because he’s been wanting one and he’s bending all of my good spoons….. but its great bottle opener and perfect for his black and tans or black and blues.
5 Stars Great Pouring Tool
It does what it is designed to do- disperse the pour and double as a bottle opener. I was also pleased to find that it fits on both pint and tall (23 oz) glasses.
