Guinness stew has, at the very least, the advantage of being slightly more interesting than a stew with nothing but water as its base. But, as I quickly found while testing this recipe, it still doesn't add much. In the world of stouts, Guinness is remarkably light on flavor. Cook it for a couple of hours, and what little bitterness and character it has vanishes into an Irish mist...no whiskey required. One obvious solution is to make not a Guinness stew but a stout stew, using a bolder ale in place of the classic.
