"Don't be afraid of all the garlic in this! It gets really mild from the long cooking process and gives the meat a wonderful flavor. This is a favorite for me, and I hope it will be for you, too. Different brands of beer will give you different amounts of sweetness ranging from bitter to malty (common beer characters). Try going with less sugar until you know how your beer will taste (as most of them add some amount of sweetness regardless)."

A wonderful tasting pot roast, and so easy to make. I am a huge fan of garlic, and I loved all the garlic in this recipe. The roast was moist, tender, and full of flavor. I added some baby carrots and peeled potatoes the last hour of cooking, and whipped up a bit of a slurry to make the gravy. I also had some homemade dinner rolls left over in the freezer that I thawed out, which was perfect for mopping up the plate. The combo of dark beer and all the other seasonings made a most favorable pot roast. Will certainly be making this again. Delish! Thanks for posting this recipe Sue!
