What's for dinner

This isn’t as weird as it sounds, and far exceeded my expectations, I used about half a bottle to make this stew (I drank the other half of course) along with a little white wine and some veal stock. The sauce was velvety and very tasty, better than most of the Guinness stews I’ve ever had. We served the stew over a bed of rustic mashed potatoes. There is just a hint of bitterness from the chocolate in the stout, simple superb. This is going into high rotation at our house.
