My great-grandmother made this and served it over toast with tomato and bacon.....wonderful! I never thought about using a porter, but it does add a wonderful flavor.

Funny thing - I, too, used Guiness (I had a craving and Guiness is what I had but I did use cheddar and it was exactly as it should taste. Outstanding and easy to make. Still I would recommend using the same beer as he suggests, and there's no point in making this if you don't use a cheese like cheddar. It's not a cheese sauce (though it could work as one ... it's Rarebit. If you don't use the ingredients, you really can't rate the recipe because you didn't try it - you made something else up. :

Thanks again, Alton, for making some good eats easy.

This was absolutely delicious. Welsh rarebit is a lenten tradition around our household, and this is the best we've ever had. We used half and half (instead of heavy cream and Yuengling beer. Also, try Club crackers instead of toast, and pickles are always good on the side (kosher baby dills. We highly recommend this recipe to other welsh rarebit fans.

This is a wonderfully simple and easy recipe that yields great flavor. Perfect after a long day at work when you want something good and filling and are too tired to really cook. I used white Australian cheddar and a Taddy Porter instead of beer. I also added a smidgen of cayenne pepper. As others noted, this does make more than 4 slices of bread can accommodate. But leftovers are always welcome. This would also make a great lunch time meal at the office. Put the leftover cheese sauce in a glass jar, heat it up slowly in the microwave, and dip pieces of rye bread into it. For those reviewers that commented that this recipe is bland, I'd suggest using a quality sharp cheddar, not the pre-shredded pre-packaged generic brand, and use a good dark beer (dark = more flavor.

Method, ingredients, consistency are all perfect. Tastes just like the dish I had in Wales.

Why do people complain about recipes not being good when they didn't use the directed ingredients/methods?

I used half and half instead of heavy cream and a pale ale for the beer. It came out amazing. There was a lot of cheese left over (I made it for two people and we saved it, but next time I think I'll halve the receipe. Also, you can use the cheese for french fries!

this really brought me back to my childhood. My Nana used to make us welsh rarebit all the time. This tasted excactly how she made it, but I did sprinkle a little paprika on the top like she did. Delicious.

I prefer to use kettle chips to dip into this, but it is fantastic! Amazing flavor that only gets better if you eat it the next day (if it lasts that long.

I could easily see using this recipe as a cheese sauce for other things.
