Note: Adapted from Bistro LQ.

1/2 cup of good dark beer, preferably Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout or Boont Amber Ale
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
Pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup toasted nuts, such as slivered almonds or pistachios

1. Line a rimmed cookie sheet with aluminum foil and grease lightly with cooking spray.

2. In a large, heavy-bottom saucepan, combine the beer, sugar and corn syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a good simmer (watch that the mixture does not boil over, stirring occasionally if needed). Cook until a candy thermometer inserted reads 310 degrees, then remove from heat.

3. Immediately stir in the salt, vanilla and nuts. Be careful, as the mixture will steam. Quickly pour the brittle over the prepared pan, spreading it thin. Cool the brittle completely, then break into pieces.

This is very good. I've used RIS and 3 Pistoles. Use a BIG pot, as the beer foams a lot.

IIRC, the last time I used 1/2 tsp baking soda at finish to save your teeth.

Looks great! I think I'll make some for the next Aleanders' meeting.

Another killer beer snack is the Chipotle nuts. Make you a legend.

Right on, I'll have to try this.

Perhaps the record for the fastest time between a recipe being posted and the item prepared?

Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout brittle. Tastes great, as does the remainder of the bottle!

Next time (which will be soon), I'll spread it much faster/thinner. I was fighting for counter space and lost.

Hahaha. I almost made it right away but Laura talked me down.

I'm doing up a beer and food basket for my brother - looks like this may make it into the basket.

Beer Brittle - Couldn't resist. The stuff is addictive! Cooked to 315 degrees, made with toasted pecans.

That looks so delicious.

Brewnosers beer brittle comp? I volunteer as a judge.

Bacon and brittle comp....

Sounds like a plan! I'm in!

Were you talking my chipotle nuts? Or did X have a version as well?

This was 'my' version.

Hard to beat those as well. Similar to a version my brother makes. Too much food ... so little time!

TimG and I made some on NYE. Just found a couple of pieces in the back of the fridge. Here's the last one:
Made with unbarrelled RIS, roasted almond slivers and pistachios. Very tasty stuff.

Mmmmm... That looks awesome.
