I'm not sure if we can call this a Belgian Roast, since I used Black Sheep Ale from North Yorkshire. What do you think? Even with beer from the wrong country, this roast was WONDERFUL!! I cooked mine for 4 hours on low in the crock pot as I want it to hold together when I sliced it. I used French thyme, I really have come to love this herb. When you add a little sweetness from the sugar, you have a roast and gravy with the best flavor! Since this was so easy to make, I'll be making this one again. Made for Let's P-A-R-T-Y! ~2010

The roast was nicely tender, but did not fall to pieces. It also looked better than the normal crockpot roast because of the browning. The recipes produces lots of gravy loaded with onions & garlic. The gravy is slightly tangy from the vinegar, with a sweet note from the brown sugar, and the beer just intensifies the herbs to add to the awesome flavor. This is very different from any pot roast I've made, but I would make it again. The only I thing I changed was to skim off the fat before making gravy. Next time I might stir in kitchen bouquet for color. Thank you for sharing the recipe! :-)
