Ingredients
Scale
Brownies
- 6 oz. stout beer (Guinness works great!)
- 8 oz. good bittersweet chocolate
- 1 stick of butter (softened)

Instructions
- Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish, then line it with parchment paper. Grease the inside of the parchment paper as well. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a small saucepan, bring the beer to a boil and reduce by about 2/3. Allow to cool while you work on the rest of the recipe.
- Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer or with a hand mixer. Next, beat in eggs one at a time, and finally add the beer.
- Stir the flour and cocoa in by hand, until just blended. Transfer to the baking dish and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a tester inserted halfway into the middle of the pan comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
- Make the ganache. See link above.
- Smooth ganache over the top. Allow 15-20 minutes to set up completely
