So I couldn't wait to get my hands on this sandwich after reading all the rave reviews and I thought for sure all the people that said this was bland didn't do something right. But, like others, I was a bit disappointed with the final result. I followed the recipe to a "t" and would give it a 3 as written. I will never rate a recipe after I tweak it, because I do not think that is fair to the author, and I don't think allrecipes should allow that! Well, they were spot-on, it was very bland! Once I tweaked it, it turned out DELISH. My way I would give it a 5. I added Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and MORE beer. I think what happens is the beer goes into the crock pot right away, and then by the end of 6-7 hours, the beer taste is ALL GONE, and YES I used a dark beer...no light stuff. So the key here is to ADD THE BEER TOWARDS THE END of cooking time to keep that yummy taste, and then I think this recipe will become a 5!
