Vintage Coffee Cocktail

Ingredients

• 1 14.9-oz. can Guinness
• 1 tablespoon malt extract (optional)
• 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

• 1 1/2 ounces Paddy old Irish whiskey
• 1 teaspoon mild-flavored (light) molasses, plus more to taste
• Ground nutmeg (for serving)

2. Whisk cream and 1 ½ oz. Guinness reduction in a small bowl until slightly thickened.
3. Stir espresso, whiskey, and molasses in an Irish coffee glass until molasses is dissolved. Top with Guinness whipped cream and nutmeg.
