You would lose some of the visual depth of the beams, but still have the "exposed beam" aesthetic (and no messing with the existing roofing material). YMMV...

This is exactly what I was thinking while reading through the earlier posts. You could cut sections of rigid 2" thick insulation board to go between the exposed beams on the inside. Some construction glue would hold it in place while you could bury some wide head screws to ensure it won't drop. Paint it to taste, done. I woule be leary of putting any insulation on the exterior of my house knowing how the wind, rain, snow can infiltrate anything.
