Yield Makes 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup stout (such as Guinness)
16 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped, divided
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (2 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9x2" metal baking pan with foil, leaving a 2" overhang. Bring stout to a boil in a medium saucepan; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 12 minutes. Let cool. Reserve 1/4 cup stout.
  • Stir 12 ounces chocolate and 1 cup butter in a medium metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until melted and smooth. Whisk sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in chocolate mixture, then 1/4 cup stout from pan. Fold in flour and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake brownies until surface begins to crack and a tester inserted into center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 35-40 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool for at least 20 minutes. Stir remaining 4 ounces chocolate in a medium metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until melted and smooth. Add reserved 1/4 cup reduced stout, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; whisk until well blended.
  • Pour warm glaze over brownies. Let stand at room temperature until glaze is set, about 40 minutes. DO AHEAD: Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature.
  • Using foil overhang, lift brownie from pan; cut into squares.

I had high hopes for these brownies, but I was disappointed. They were dry and crumbly, and the chocolate stout flavor was barely noticeable. I won't be making them again.

These brownies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I also found the stout flavor to be a bit too strong. However, my husband loved them, so I guess it's a matter of personal preference.

I'm not a big fan of stout, but I really enjoyed these brownies. The chocolate flavor was rich and decadent, and the stout flavor was subtle and not overpowering. The brownies were also very moist and fudgy. I would definitely make them again.

These brownies are so good! I've made them twice now and they're always a hit. They're fudgy, chewy, and have the perfect amount of chocolate stout flavor. I highly recommend them!

I made these brownies last night and they were amazing! I love the combination of chocolate and stout. The brownies were also really easy to make. I will definitely be making them again.

These chocolate stout brownies were a hit! They were fudgy, moist, and had a delicious chocolate stout flavor. I used Guinness stout, but I'm sure any dark stout would work well. I also added a bit of espresso powder to the batter for an extra boost
