Any brown ale will do for this marinade, but dry stout has a wonderful toasty, coffeelike flavour that lends itself well to the grill. Serve with grilled potato wedges and corn.

Ingredients
Method
Trim excess fat from ribs; remove membrane from underside if attached. Place ribs in large shallow dish. In bowl, combine stout, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, cloves and hot pepper sauce; pour over ribs. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)Reserving marinade, remove ribs and pat dry. Place on greased grill over medium-low heat; close lid and cook, turning 4 times, until tender, 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
Meanwhile, in saucepan, combine reserved marinade, dates, tomato paste, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard and molasses; bring to boil. Boil, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 2 cups (500 mL), about 10 minutes.
Brush both sides of ribs with sauce. Increase heat to medium-high; close lid and cook, turning once, until glazed and golden, about 15 minutes. Cut between ribs into serving-size portions to serve.
