According to Cargo magazine (cargomag.com) March 2006, "In 1861 Britain was rocked by the death of Prince Albert. Members of London's snooty Brook's Club were in mourning, and the steward decided that if champagne must be drunk, it should be shrouded in black, too. So he darkened all the bubbly with a 1:1 mix of Guinness. The result is an effervescent blend of fruity wine and mellow stout that's actually quite elegant."
