Very good flavor. Had a bitter aftertaste. I might try using less beer and/or a different kind of beer to try to solve that. I used a Corona. I used 2 cups of cheese and I think I would use more next time. I love thick soups and I never thought I would say this but it was a little too thick for me. Added a little milk to the leftovers for a thinner consistency.

This soup really is nice and thick! I used 1/4 cup of butter insead of 1/4 cup of oil. I used Corona beer, and added it when I added the half and half and broth (to simmer off the alcohol). I used 2 cups of shredded cheddar (the recipe calls for 1 1/2 lbs...perhaps it should read 1/2 lb? Otherwise, that would be 6 cups of cheese). Thanx for a great thick soup recipe; I'll make this again.

This was delicious! It is also as thick as pudding. We also have been serving it spooned over toast as a sort of Welsh Rarebit breakfast dish.
