With any savory topping, I'd be incllined to leave out the sugar (may a couple of teaspoons) and the cinnamon and cardamom. I might leave those spices in if serving a curry-ish stew over them - though without knowing how strong the stout flavor is, I'd probably wait to experiment with doing a curry until I knew.

Consider using the waffle as replacement for the usual baguette in a tartine: arugula lightly tossed in a bright vinaigrette, topped with torn prosciutto or bacon (or with the stout, a nice brat sliced in half lengthwise and fried until a bit crispy, then cut into bite-sized pieces) topped with red onion pickles (see this: https://food52.com/recipes/29712-low-maintenance-fish-tacos) topped with runny yolk eggs. This time of year, I'd serve cucumbers and or beets tossed in vinaigrette alongside, to brighten things up.

Sometimes I add some ripe avocado slices to our tartines, depending on how hungry everyone is. ;o)

Thank you for your suggestions. Never thought of a stew. Great! That's going to be dinner next week.

Glad to hear it.
If you need more ideas, just do a browser search…there are recommendations for lots more (avocado, deli meats, lox and cream cheese).
Basically, sandwich and/or pizza toppings adapted to waffles.

What a great idea!- breakfast for dinner.
I think any dish with a sauce or stew that will fill the indentations would work.
Choose based on what you like, ingredients on hand, or what's seasonally available.
Possibilities or suggestions:
* chile and/or meat roasted to pull-apart tenderness at summer barbecues;
* ratatouille or other Provençale vegetable stews in late summer;
* any rich gooey cheese sauce, like Welsh Rabbit or Swiss fondue;
* chicken and gravy (the Southern dish, with the waffles replacing the usual biscuits).
