Het Pint is a traditional Scottish cocktail that combines mild ale and Scotch whisky, resulting in a warm and comforting drink that's perfect for cold nights. The nutmeg adds a subtle touch of spice, making this cocktail a unique way to enjoy these two classic spirits together.

Instructions

1.	In a large pot, combine the ale, nutmeg, and sugar.

3.	In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they are frothy.
4.	Slowly pour the hot ale mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
5.	Pour the mixture back into the pot and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

7.	Serve hot in mugs, garnished with a sprinkle of nutmeg.
