Beer and food!
The food is a coffee-braised pot roast, with some corn fresh out of the freezer by way of the nuke-ro-wave. The beer is DC Brau's The Stone of Arbroath, a Wee Heavy.
It's an unusual meal when the beer is less bitter than the food. There's not a lot of bitterness in the beer, but there's pretty clearly not supposed to be—there's just a lot of caramel sweetness, some peat and smoke, hints of something almost sour (which might be more present now as a contrast to the robustly salty-bitter roast). There is something like roast in the background of the malts, which do dance with the coffee and the beef, around the perimeter.
The pot roast took longer than I'm used to it taking, but it was worth waiting for.
