We just went to Dublin and the Guinness Brewery. As much as we tried we could not get the recipe from the cook. This is very, very similar. The only thing I did different was add some frozen peas in during the last 30 min, seasoned throughout with salt and pepper, and I used another bottle of Guinness too because mine was getting very thick throughout cooking. My house smelled amazing while it was cooking and I couldn't help but take bites here and there :)
