My husband and I are seriously addicted to this bread! I only make one small change when preparing this. As I don't usually have buttermilk on hand, I use regular milk with 1 Tbs of lemon juice. Other than that, I follw this recipe exactly. Quick, easy and flavorful. My husband loves to eat his plain and I zap mine in the microwave and use a little spray butter with a dusting of sugar. Quick bread heaven!

Amazing! I followed everything to the letter except that I accidentally added an entire stick of butter and used a loaf pan. Still awesome.

Holy crud this is AWESOME!!! Super easy to make, I thought it was too runny and wouldn't come out, but it was perfect, moist inside with a thick yummy crust. I made a honey cinnamon butter to go on it and everyone RAVED over it!!

Really good! Instead of melted butter, I cut 1/2 cup cold butter into the flour mixture and baked in a loaf pan 35 minutes at 375, then 40 minutes at 325. Turned oven off and let set with oven door open another 35 minutes. Wonderful!

Interesting bread to say the least. I can say, that it almost smelled like banana bread...not sure why but it did. My family just loved it. I thought it was fine. Very easy to make. I can see adding some fruit along with this the next time I make it. My family has already asked I do so.

Overall not a bad recipe... mine rose nicely and had a good flavor.. i am not sure if it is worth using a bottle of Guinness for... its about $2 a bottle... but the simple basic beer bread is also pretty good... this bread did have a very unique and great flavor though

Ok thought it was kind of generic.

This turned out as an excellent beer loaf. A bit different than expected as to the whole wheat only flour. Not hard or clumped together at all, almost cake like and very moist. I liked the dark texture. It went well with our corned beef dinner. The only difference I did, as others suggested, was to use 1/4 cup brown sugar. This yeilded a hint of sweetness, not overpowering the bread taste. Baked in an older USA made pyrex pie pan for the round effect. The odor while cooking filled the house, hard to wait for the meal and bread! This is my new and only dark bear bread recipe. Thank you Dolly, my Irish ancestors would say 'Good on ya fer this one."

This bread came as a surprise to me because I really don't care for Guinness beer! So I bought one bottle and went for it based on the statements by two of my Allrecipes friends. I'm glad I did! This is a really delicious breakfast bread. I baked mine in a 9x5 loaf pan as the recipe calls for with the exception of baking it only about 12 minutes after turning down the heat to 400. We did as the author suggested and slathered it in butter and honey. It was a perfect complement to our morning coffee. Thanks for the recipe!
