I did use about 1/3 the sugar, and added some mushrooms. I served this over roasted potatoes, and it was just fabulous--meaty, flavorful, everything a stew should be. Thanks for posting!

Followed this recipe as written. I really could taste the sugar so next time I will not add as much or even omit it. I had some of the beer mixture left that I think next time I will make some gravy with it. I served this over egg noodles. Made for ZWT 6.
