Wow! I used Leffe. Although it wasn't exactly a dark beer, it added great flavor without the heaviness. I'll add this to my regular rotation.

Great recipe, but I used the wrong beer! I used German Warsteiner (didn't have a dark lager). We've been on a 'try different beers' kick & this is what was in the fridge. I think a Belgian Framboise would be FABULOUS in this. Made for ZWT 4. (Hi Teammate!!)

Overall, we weren't that pleased with the dish, but we think that was definitely in my choice of beer. I used a DARK German lager, and got very bitter carrots. However this is getting 4 stars because even as bitter as this dish turned out, the kids gobbled them up. They might not necessarily ask for them again, but they ate them with no complaints. That's definitely worth an extra star from me! So, if you would like to give this a try, try a lighter lager, not the darkest one on the shelf! Made for ZWT4.

For me this was good but probably would have been a bit better if I was more of a beer drinker. I think next time I might try brown sugar and see if that makes it a five star for me. Oddly, I also used Leffe. Made for ZWT4.

I am always very sad to give this kind of review, but I do agree completely with CraftScout that the carrots were very bitter. I did not finish mine. Sorry I couldn't rate higher. Posted for ZWT4 Kumquat's Kookin' Kaboodles. ~Sue

These were very very good. I did use a dark lager but for safety's sake added a 1/2 tsp of brown sugar. It made a wonderful glaze once it boiled down

Yum! After reading the reviews, I decided to go with a lighter beer. We loved how it turned out. Simple and tasty, great for a fall weeknight meal. Made for the Oct 08 veggie swap.

These were really good carrots and I gotta love a recipe where I get to open a bottle a beer and oops, there some left. Guess I will have to drink it so it won't go to waste. Makes cooking dinner all the more fun. I used a light lager and 1/2 teaspoon sucanat. Otherwise followed the recipe with great results. The carrots were nicely glazed and sweet with that little something of flavor that makes you go hmm...Thanks for posting. Made for my Babes for ZWT4.
