Very smooth and creamy, and the worcestershire and tabasco give it the perfect kick! The only negative I would have is that I seemed to taste the "yeast" flavor from the beer a bit.

My husband and I used to eat the Beer Cheese Soup at Baby Doe's Restaurant in Denver. We were disapointed in this recipe, it did not taste even close to what we remember. The soup was smooth and creamy but there was too much bacon and, between the bacon and Cheez Whiz, the soup was way too salty for our tastes. I agree with LorenLou in that the beer gave the soup a yeasty taste. Will try a different recipe next time.
