How to make Leg of Lamb "Black and Tan"

Preheat oven to 177°C. Arrange lamb bone, trimmings, onion, and carrots in roasting pan. Roast until browned, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.

Pour off fat and discard lamb bone from roasting pan. Place roasting pan over 2 burners; add broth and bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Strain into medium saucepan; discard solids in strainer. Add stout, lager, and mustard; boil until reduced to 180ml , about 5 minutes.

Do ahead: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before finishing sauce.

Remove top rack from grill. Place disposable aluminum baking pan in centre of barbecue (if using 2-burner gas grill, place pan on 1 side of grill). Add enough water to pan to reach depth of 1 inch.

Preheat barbecue (medium heat). If using charcoal grill, light briquettes in chimney and place half on each side of aluminum baking pan (you may need to light additional briquettes in chimney to replenish halfway through grilling time). If using 3-burner gas grill, light gas burners on left and right, leaving centre burner off. If using 2-burner gas grill, light burners on side opposite disposable pan.

Place lamb on rimmed baking sheet. Brush lamb all over with balsamic vinegar; sprinkle all over with granulated garlic, then lemon pepper. Place lamb, rounded side up, on grill rack over aluminum pan. Cover grill and cook lamb until instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of lamb registers 52°C for medium-rare (temperature of thinner parts of lamb will register between 57°C and 63°C and will vary from medium to well-done), maintaining temperature of barbecue between 177°C and 191°C, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Transfer lamb to cutting board; let rest 10 minutes.

Bring sauce just to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in butter and honey. Serve with sliced lamb.
