Ingredients

  • 2 cups coffee stout beer (I used Telluride Brewing's "Ski-In-Ski-Stout)
  • Two 4 oz bars bittersweet chocolate, chopped and divided (I used Ghirardelli's 86% Cocoa Chocolate Bar)
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks)
  • 3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granualted sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract 1 tsp flaked sea salt, divide
  • 1and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions

Cook beer in a medium saucepan over medium heat for 20-25 minutes, or until reduced to 1/2 cup of liquid. Cool for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of an 8×8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang on 2 sides.
Microwave 6 oz. of chopped chocolate and butter in a large, microwave-safe bow until melted and smooth, stirring at 30-second intervals. You will need to microwave the chocolate and butter for a total of about 1 1/2 – 2 minutes.
Once the chocolate and butter are melted, whisk in the sugars until combined. Add the eggs in, one at a time, whisking until just blended in.
Once cooled, whisk in the reduced beer along with the vanilla and 1/2 tsp of sea salt.
Whisk in the flour and cocoa until just combined. Do not over mix. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and sprinkle with the remaining 2 oz. of chocolate and 1/2 tsp. of salt.
Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Do not overbake.
Cool completely on a wire rack in the pan. Once cooled, remove brownies from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Tips
  • Feel free to use whatever coffee stout you can find, or a Guinness stout will work well too!
  • Use 86% cocoa chocolate for extra rich flavor

    What is coffee stout beer? Pretty sure it doesn’t exist in my neck of the woods.

    if I use a Guinness do I add coffee to it?

      That is completely fine! A Guinness would work just as well. It has a similar coffee and caramel flavor that will give you the same effect!
