Wow, you have a winner here my friend. Great post and a very high 5. Yummers.


Just made this last night. The best pork roast we've ever had! Came out so juicy and tender! Loved the beer sauce, it tasted so good, I had to get a piece of bread and soak it up in the end! Added some pictures for you.


It looks and sounds just perfect! It actually looks so perfect that I thought the main photo was from a magazine...then I read the review and saw that it was Juels'...
