Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 325°F (165°C) and greasing two 8x4-inch loaf pans. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt—set that aside for now. In a separate large bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, beer, and 1 3/4 cups of brown sugar. Whisk everything until the sugar dissolves completely. Next, stir in the butter, browning sauce, vanilla extract, and lime juice until it’s all well combined. Gradually add the flour mixture along with the raisins and stir until you don’t see any dry spots.

Step 2

Pour the batter evenly into your prepared pans and pop them in the oven. Bake for about an hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. While the bread is baking, mix 1/2 cup brown sugar with the water in a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over high heat and let it cook until it turns thick and syrupy, which should take around 5 minutes.

Step 3

Once the bread is done, take it out and spoon the warm glaze over the tops. Put the loaves back in the oven for another 5 minutes to let that glaze set. After baking, let the bread cool in the pans for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack so they can cool completely before slicing.
