THE TOP UP
Hold the glass straight under the tap spout, push the tap handle backwards and fill the glass so that the head is just proud of the rim.
This is called the back for black.
si parla del rabbocco della Guinness nella sua spillatura. non so come si possa rendere questa espressione.

back for black
If I'm not mistaken I don't think you can keep the phonetic pun in Italian so you might as well keep it in English.
So what I would do is leave the expression in English in " " and maybe add an explanation in brackets (although this might not even be necessary).
You have probably understood what the expression means i.e. going "back" on the tap to add more "black" liquid (ie Guinness), to top it up.

il tocco del rabbocco
Visto che non puoi mantenere il gioco tra back/rabbocco e black/birra scura, provane un altro!
