Loved the carrots and they didn’t taste like the roast. Got a bigger one a year or so ago and the carrots could go beside it. I guess they soaked up the meat juice because they tasted totally different.

Is it just me, or does anything you cook in a crock pot just taste "different"? 

I dont know, I just feel like the crock pot does something to the food that makes it taste kind of off. I would rather braise, simmer, or slow cook in a cast iron dutch oven or pot any day. Its nice too because you can sear the meat before you slow cook it.
