I've made this twice and both times it was excellent. I noticed some comments on the icing being a bit runny. I didn't have heavy whipping cream so I used half and half creamer, and I just added a few tables spoons at a time until I got the right consistency. It was probably about 1/3 of a cup more or less. The half and half worked great and I got the right consistency with less than the recipe calls for.

We served it to company, and it was a hit! We (in the kitchen) got to lick the serving utensils - that is all that was left of it!

It is a challenge to bake long enough, but not overbake and cause cake to dry out. Otherwise our family liked this cake. Made it for our St. Pat's day meal and my son thought a little Bailey's to the topping would have been great. I liked the cake as is.

easy to make, interesting ingredients and directions for the cake and frosting. The cake is dense and moist with a slight bitter quality from the beer. It is not overly sweet and the frosting is perfect.

Super easy cake to make but the frosting was too runny to create froth. Enjoyed the cake very much the first day but really dried out in the fridge overnight (and I had it wrapped in plastic wrap). Disappointing overall.
