Once things were getting to be pretty brown on the bottom of the pan I added about 1\/2 of a bottle of a dark cream stout. In hindsight I should have used a light beer as the original recipe called for. The dark stout added just a bit too much bitterness to the dish and the dark color made the eggs in the end look dirty brown. Tasted good but certainly could have looked better.<\/div>\n<div><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_kufElHa-EkM\/SZg7JEFhSfI\/AAAAAAAABoM\/DdiRzD-lOnI\/s1600-h\/IMG_6908.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_kufElHa-EkM\/SZg7JEFhSfI\/AAAAAAAABoM\/DdiRzD-lOnI\/s400\/IMG_6908.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303053588130515442\" \/><\/a>After the beer was added the potatoes and onions were simmered with stirring every now and then until they were cooked through &#8211; about 10 minutes.
