My husband and I have what we call a date night once a week. It's where the kids get their beloved pizza, and him and I get something a bit more special along with a good movie. I served this for our Friday night date night. Needed more beer than it called for in the recipe. Just add to desired consistency. Also added a pinch of Cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper.
