“This stew has a great flavor, don't be afraid to use Guiness. It will not be bitter, even if you omit the sugar like I did. I used only one pot: rendered the bacon-removed it; dredged 3.75 lbs. beef in flour (with salt and pepper) browned it-removed it; cooked” — a cook, 5★
“Made this tonight and it was excellent! Followed the recipe, though I did make a few changes - beef broth, double carrots/celery, added 2 small diced parsnips, used 1 Guinness and 3/4 Sweet Baby Jesus Peanut butter Porter (all I had left), and added quartered ” — a cook, 5★
