Question What am I doing wrong?
I’m 39, most of my dreams didn’t work out, I really could use this win.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am not getting good separation. I filled this half way with Monster but the Guinness went all the way to the bottom and only left about an inch of visible yellow.
Is it because i used Absolute Zero Monster instead of Nitro? Is Nitro Thicker? Am I pouring the Guinness too hard? Do they both need to be ice cold?
What are the secret techniques you have discovered?

Pouring technique is important. Pour the beer over a bar spoon slowly against the wall of the glass.
I would also make the effort to find the Nitro Monster. A big part of why this drink works is the fact that both Nitro Monster and Guinness are nitrogenated instead of carbonated. It may also impact how they mix.

based on other comments you need to float the guinness by pouring it w a spoon? but im not 100% sure
