Anyone tried this "scratch" Baked Bean recipe?

Finally tried Cooper's crock pot modification of Alton Brown's recipe. I soaked the pinto beans overnight. Either I did something wrong or our crock pot heats a little hot because the beans were done in about 4 1/2 hours and the sauce didn't thicken very much. Nevertheless, the beans were very good. Sweet on first taste with follow-up heat to round out the taste. The sauce didn't have nearly as strong of a taste as the original recipe.

Anyway, good recipe that I'll try again.
 
Beans done in a crock pot get cooked okay, but the slow cook doesn't abuse the beans enough to thicken the broth. Maybe it'd be a good first step if you're planning to finish on the stove top.
