Yes, Æbleflæsk is usually served during fall and winter. There are lots of local variations in the way of how to prepare this dish just right. Dark beer is the right beverage to accompany it.
Æbleflæsk is the traditional Danish meal of Boiled apples with bacon
Peel the apples, remove the core and cut them into clices. Cut the bacon in fairly thick pieces. Put the apple pieces in a cooking pot together with a little bit of water (prevents the apples from burning). The apples are cooked until they reach a porridge consistency Add a couple of spoonfuls of the liquid bacon fat, and depending on the sweetness of the apples add sugar. While cooking the apples fry the bacon in a pan or in the oven. The bacon is fried until it reach the state crispiness you prefere. Serve the apples and bacon with a strong rye bread. more here:

Similar is the more German dish Aepfelradln (beer paste baked apple rings).

I love any meal in which an item is marinated and/or baked with beer in it. Why does this make food superior? Perhaps it adds richness to the food, similar to the way that adding mushrooms to almost anything makes it tastier. Thoughts? Wisdom? Insight? Hilarity?
