Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt until the dry ingredients are evenly combined.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the stout beer, melted butter, molasses, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined.

Fold in the mixed dried fruit until they are evenly distributed throughout the thick, dark batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top surface with the back of a spoon.

Bake in the center of the oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove the bun from the oven and immediately brush the top with honey while it is still hot to create a sticky, shiny glaze.

Let the bun cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving with cheese.
