Throw in some Bay Leaves.

Add your Black Peppercorns and any other spices. I used a couple of tablespoons of assorted spices and pickling spice. Next time I would add even more.

Pour in several bottles of dark beer. I had Guinness available, but next time I would go with something richer and fuller since Guinness is on the light side when it comes to dark beer.
Bring the pot to a boil and then immediately lower to a bare simmer. You want to cook this low and slow. You will be cooking the roast for a total time of 25-30 minutes per lb. In this case for an 8 lb. roast I will simmer it for a total of 3 hours and 30 minutes. remember that you will be adding the vegetables near the end of the cooking time.
