3 out of 5 stars

Muffin, cake or bread?

Review by Gemma B. on 13 November 2015

After tasting this bread I found myself confused as to what it was meant to taste like and what the texture should have been. My initial reaction was that I was eating a muffin, as it didn't quite work as a bread (too soft). However it didn't quite work as a muffin (too dry) either. Plus I didn't taste beer at all, only chocolate. If, however, eaten with jam and cheese or cream or some kind of spread, the taste and texture may be very different. Read more

Chocoholics rejoice! This beer bread really is idiot proof and has the taste and texture of something that you would have spent way more time and effort making. It should feature as a standby in everyone's pantry.

While I haven't made this myself, I have tasted it and was really surprised. I've not always been a beer bread fan, having found them a bit stodgy but this mix tastes great! I would recommend a huge dollop of butter or double cream, and fresh fruit with it.

Simple chocolate brownie-style dessert with minimum effort

Review by Lucie B. on 11 March 2016

I'm a fan of the home-cooked loaf, but for a simple starter kit, this produces surprisingly tasty results. The texture was a little drier than I'd prefer but deliciously chocolate-y. I was hesitant at first that the beer would be an overpowering flavour, but it's not noticeable (sorry, guys!). Topped with some fresh whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence, it's a crowd-pleasing dessert to whip up with minimum effort - next on my list: the garlic & herb variety. Read more

Bread/Brownie hybrid

Review by Jessica U. on 13 March 2016

Had some of the bread that was baked in a muffin tin, the result was somewhere between a muffin and a brownie. Didn't get a strong beer taste, but the chocolate made up for it! Would recommend adding a little bit of salt to the batter before baking.

I would recommend this product to a friend.
