I regret I know no way to make this GF. I've found some decent pastries, but not a convincing Stout

Wyse is a decent GF pastry but you are right, a GF stout is the holy grail (late diagnosed here - god I miss stout). O'Brien's make an amazing GF stout but it's only ever limited edition. Two bays have one too. It is very much not the same but might just do for a pie.

Hmm now you have me thinking. When my life is a bit less hectic (hence Woolies freezer pie for dinner) I am gonna try a beef and stout stew and / or a pie. See if I can get it close to real food.

I once made a tolerable dark GF brew out of black rice and tea. Tasted pretty good but totally lacked any body.

Yeah the body is the trick.
