I have served this numerous times and always get raves. I add a bit more Guinness Stout and serve over garlic mashed potatoes. Great

While on my first visit to Ireland in July 1999, the birthplace of parents, my cousin and I stopped in Doolen near the Cliffs of Mohr and had this marvelous dark Irish Beef Stew cooked in Guinness Stout" at O'Connors Pub. It was absolutely delicous and the first authentic Irish meal we had and while all the food was great there was nothing that could beat the Irish Stew. When I found the recipe on this site, I immediately tried it and it is exactly like what we had in Ireland. When my cousin came to dinner and I served it, he was sure I had gotten the recipe from O'Connors Pub while we were in Ireland. It was a cinch to make, directions were very easy to follow and it practically cooks itself. It is equally as good over mashed potatoes or rice. Try it, you'll like it. The one ingredient I added was a "wee bit of blarney"

Fabulous! We just had our first cold day of the year and made this. It was wonderful. I did add potatoes, and about a full cup of Guinness. Other than that just followed the directions and it was much better than we had hoped for. You have to hope it's great if you're going to use Guinness in it, don't want to waste any of that Thank you very much.
