Well, the wheels have been turning after reading Double's recipe. I'm going to adjust it a little and give it a go.
Beer... Guiness
Stock... beef instead of chicken
A sweet aspect... will replace the balsamic with Coke.
I'm thinking about 1 equal part of each to make my braising liquid. Just realized I'm out of lump for the egg and wood chips. I'll skip that this time and just sear them on the skillet before.
Will report back.
