Once you've got spices, sugar, butter and egg, you do start to wonder what the beer is adding exactly.

Judging by the title of the post, I assume there will be other attempts, so I'll hold off on my own experiment for now. The egg yolk is still a little off-putting, but anything to justify beer's nutritional value is alright by me.

The main difference is that they use much more egg yolk and a slab of butter, which puts me off a bit - it's starting to sound like a beer omelette.
