This recipe turned out great! I made it for ST. Patrick's Day, served it over mashed potatoes and it was a big hit.

This tasted okay, but not great. Definitely needed more spices and was a bit too thin. I added some cornstarch and water at the end to try and thicken things up. Served over Diane's Colchannon from this site.

Great Recipe! Made it with beef broth since I could not get out to get a beer and it still came out great. Added some celery and bay leaves but otherwise I left the recipe alone. Served over champ,Delish. Even my hubby that normally does not like stews liked this one.

Awesome!! Made it for an irish-themed dinner and everyone loved it. Served it over Irish Champ and soda bread (both recipies from this site). Excellent! I don't like beer but it just gave it a nice flavor. Will use more beer next time, actually. Definitely a keeper!

This is a good stew base - the consistency of the gravy was perfect - but it lacked flavor. I would recommend adding your preferred blend of spices, as well as a little sugar to balance it out.

This stew is delicious! Everyone (inlcuding me) raved about how wonderful the flavors were. I had to use dried thyme and a little extra beef, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I served it in bowls on top of mashed potatoes, with "Amazingly Easy Irish Soda Bread" (recipe on this site) to go with it. Incredible!

hey this recipe was great. even if you're not big on dark beer. I added about 2 bottles of guiness plus a can of vegitable stock. then added more root vegitbles, turnips in our case. try with boston brown bread for dinner. this is now a permanent addition to my fall/winter menu.

I thought this recipe sounded interesting, and based on the past reviews decided to give it a try. After following the directions to a T, out of the 4 of us who ate this, no one liked it.

Very good, works great with potatoes and polenta. To try even if you don't like Stout beer.

Great !! Very popular at the pot luck. We used 2 bottles of Guiness stout and a little extra cayenne, salt and pepper.

This stew was the best! I only added half the beer it called for and added beef broth for the rest of the liquid. I filled the soup bowls with mashed potatoes and poured the stew on top. This will be the only way I make Stew from now on! Thank you so much:)

This stew recipe was very good - easy to assemble and it tasted great the first time I made it! The broth was thick - I was worried that it wouldn't be. I also added in some mushrooms and potatoes instead of serving it with potatoes.

I also thought the Guinness taste was a little too much - I ended up adding a can of fat-free low sodium beef broth to dilute it a little. I left out the carrots because I didn't have any, and used mushrooms instead (threw them in with some boiling onions during the final 30 mins of cooking time). We enjoyed this but, personally, I prefer my stew recipe that uses red wine instead of stout. Thanks, anyway!
