A Black Velvet is half Stout (Guinness) and half Champagne:
http://www.webtender.com/db/drink/105.
Note that it says: Stout (Chilled).
There's nothing particular about stout (Guinness) being served at room
temperature in Britain. - That's what they do with all kinds of beer -
ale, lager, stout, even cider...
The drink coming closest to half stout half cider is called
'Hairball': http://www.webtender.com/db/drink/3169. It's half stout,
half cider and bit of Irish Whisky.
This thread is fun (I like drinks...).
Whoever mentioned German dark beer -- You rule! It's my favourite, and
it's nice to know that it is even drunk in the US.
