Guinness is often used in baking and almost always paired with chocolate. The two work well together because Guinness, like coffee, intensifies chocolate&#8217;s natural flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Have you ever had this <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/triple-chocolate-layer-cake\/\">chocolate cake<\/a> with hot coffee in the batter before? It&#8217;s just like that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Truly, you don&#8217;t have to like beer to love desserts made with Guinness! Desserts like my <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/guinness-chocolate-cupcakes\/\">Guinness cupcakes<\/a> don&#8217;t taste like beer. Rather, they have a more complex chocolate flavor with a malty background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reducing the beer first intensifies these flavors while preventing excess liquid in the batter. We take that same first step in this recipe for <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/guinness-chocolate-cake\/\">Guinness chocolate cake<\/a>. More on this below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Ingredients You Need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>Besides a bottle of Guinness, the rest of the ingredients are all pretty typical brownie staples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> You can make brownies with butter, oil, or both; but in testing, we liked these brownies best with all butter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chocolate:<\/strong> Use 8 ounces (2 standard baking bars) of semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate. Since this is the only chocolate in these Guinness brownies, use a good-quality brand\u2014I typically use <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4s1aW14\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4s1aW14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Ghirardelli brand<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sugar: <\/strong>Sugar does more than sweeten brownies. As the batter bakes, it liquifies to create a softer center and rises to the top, forming that shiny, crackly surface.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> Eggs bind, add richness, tenderize, and provide structure. This recipe uses 3 eggs for a tight crumb and melt-in-your-mouth texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flour:<\/strong> More flour makes cakier brownies. For dense, fudgy brownies, you only need 1 cup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt &amp; Vanilla:<\/strong> To balance all the flavors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Espresso Powder:<\/strong> Optional, but I recommend it for a deeper chocolate flavor. It\u2019s added to both the brownie batter and frosting. You can find espresso powder in the baking or coffee aisle at the grocery store or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2uVsb9R\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored\">online<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Confectioners&#8217; Sugar:<\/strong> For sweetening the frosting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why is there no baking powder or baking soda in these brownies?<\/strong> Adding baking powder or baking soda lifts brownies up and creates a cakier result. But today, we want a brownie so dense and fudgy that it&#8217;s basically 1 step up from eating pure chocolate\u2014just like these seriously fudgy <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/seriously-fudgy-homemade-brownies\/\">homemade brownies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" data-pin-description=\"How to make Guinness brownies on sallysbakingaddiction.com\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/guinness-brownies\/?tp_image_id=53625\"  data-pin-nopin=\"nopin\" data-id=\"53625\" src=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/guinness-brownies-6-600x900.jpg\" alt=\"Guinness beer bottle\" class=\"wp-image-53625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/guinness-brownies-6-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/guinness-brownies-6-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/guinness-brownies-6-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/guinness-brownies-6.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" data-pin-description=\"How to make Guinness brownies on sallysbakingaddiction.com\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/guinness-brownies\/?tp_image_id=53626\"  data-pin-nopin=\"nopin\" data-id=\"53626\" src=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/guinness-brownies-5-600x900.jpg\" alt=\"reduced Guinness in a glass measuring cup\" class=\"wp-image-53626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/guinness-brownies-5-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/guinness-brownies-5-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/guinness-brownies-5-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/guinness-brownies-5.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading heading-star\">The Key Step: Reduce the Guinness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The secret to bold Guinness flavor in your brownies without ruining their texture is reducing the beer first. Simmering the beer concentrates its flavor while preventing excess liquid in the batter, so the brownies stay dense, moist, and perfectly fudgy instead of cakey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By reducing a full bottle of Guinness on the stovetop, the water evaporates while the flavor intensifies. The result: malty stout flavor without compromising the brownie texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>Here\u2019s the process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pour one bottle (or can) of Guinness stout into a saucepan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let it simmer until it reduces to about 2\/3 cup (takes about 20 minutes, totally hands off). This is less than half the liquid we started with, but triple the flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let it cool slightly. Or reduce the Guinness in advance, and refrigerate until you&#8217;re ready to make the brownies.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This technique is similar to reducing fruit or champagne for baking\u2014less liquid, more flavor. We do the same thing to concentrate strawberry flavor for <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/strawberry-cake\/\">strawberry cake<\/a>, apple cider flavor for <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/baked-apple-cider-donuts\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"57129\">apple cider donuts<\/a>, and champagne for <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/champagne-cake-roll\/\">champagne cake roll<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll use 1\/2 cup (120g\/ml) of reduced Guinness in the brownie batter, and the remaining 2 and 1\/2 Tablespoons (40g\/ml) in the frosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"896\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/guinness-brownies\/?tp_image_id=159136\"  data-pin-title=\"Guinness Brownies\"  data-pin-description=\"How to make delicious Guinness brownies for St. Patrick's Day!

It helps to cut the butter into pieces so it melts evenly. You can use the microwave or stovetop.

Instead, the stout enhances the chocolate flavor with subtle roasted notes similar to coffee or dark caramel. The result is a richer, deeper chocolate brownie rather than a beer-flavored dessert.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1773080966844\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What type of Guinness should I use for baking?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Classic Guinness Draught stout works best for baking brownies. It has a smooth, slightly roasted flavor that complements chocolate. Extra stout or other dark stouts can also work, but they may produce a slightly stronger malt flavor.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1773081066566\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I skip reducing the Guinness?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. Reducing Guinness concentrates its flavor while removing excess liquid. Brownie batter can easily become too thin if extra liquid is added, which can lead to cakey or gummy brownies. Simmering the stout first ensures the brownies stay dense, moist, and fudgy.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1773081153081\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I make Guinness brownies without alcohol?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Although the brownies contain Guinness, the alcohol content is reduced during simmering and baking. If you prefer an alcohol-free version, you can substitute a stout-style nonalcoholic beer for a similar flavor.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1773081390320\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do you know when brownies are done baking?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Brownies are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs\u2014not coated in wet batter (underbaked), and not completely clean (overbaked). Overbaking can make brownies dry, so it\u2019s best to remove them from the oven when the center is just set.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"callout-recipes-list\" class=\"callout-recipes-list block-color-green\"><div class=\"wrap\"><div class=\"recipe-list-headline-group\"><span class=\"recipe-list-section-icon\"> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" focusable=\"false\"><use href=\"#vertical-occasion-st-patricks-day\"><\/use><\/svg> <\/span><h2 class=\"recipe-list-title\">St. Patrick&#8217;s Day Desserts<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"recipe-list-content\"><div class=\"recipes-list-content-group\">\n<article id=\"post-95889\" class=\"post-truncated post-abbr\">\n    <a class=\"post-abbr-img\" href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/baileys-coffee-cupcakes\/\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/baileys-coffee-cupcakes-3-600x900.jpg\" class=\"attachment-img_vertical size-img_vertical wp-image-95908\" alt=\"close-up photo of Baileys and coffee cupcake cut in half\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/baileys-coffee-cupcakes-3-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/baileys-coffee-cupcakes-3-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/baileys-coffee-cupcakes-3-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/baileys-coffee-cupcakes-3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/baileys-coffee-cupcakes-3-425x638.jpg 425w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/baileys-coffee-cupcakes-3-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/baileys-coffee-cupcakes-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-pin-description=\"How to make Baileys Irish Cream and Coffee flavored cupcakes on sallysbakingaddiction.com\" data-pin-nopin=\"nopin\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/baileys-coffee-cupcakes\/?tp_image_id=95908\" \/><\/a>    <div class=\"abbr-content\">\n\t    <a class=\"term-link\" href=https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/category\/desserts\/cupcakes\/\"><span class=\"term-title\">Cupcakes<\/span><\/a>        <h3 class=\"article-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/baileys-coffee-cupcakes\/\" rel=\"entry-title-link\">Baileys &#038; Coffee Cupcakes<\/a>\n        <\/h3>\n        <div class=\"post-meta post-comments\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" focusable=\"false\"><use href=\"#core-comment\"><\/use><\/svg><span class=\"sm-sans\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/baileys-coffee-cupcakes\/#comments\">163 Comments<\/a><\/span><\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n<article id=\"post-154208\" class=\"post-truncated post-abbr\">\n    <a class=\"post-abbr-img\" href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/creme-de-menthe-pie\/\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/creme-de-menthe-pie-600x900.jpg\" class=\"attachment-img_vertical size-img_vertical wp-image-154466\" alt=\"hands holding creme de menthe mint chocolate pie.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/creme-de-menthe-pie-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/creme-de-menthe-pie-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/creme-de-menthe-pie-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/creme-de-menthe-pie.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-pin-description=\"If you\u2019re a fan of all things mint-chocolate and the dreamy texture of a cream pie, this cr\u00e8me de menthe pie is about to become your new signature dessert.

Once boiling, reduce to medium heat and allow to simmer until reduced down to 2\/3 cup (160g\/ml), about 12\u201315 minutes. Set aside to cool for at least 10 minutes. You will use 1\/2 cup (120g\/ml) in the brownies and the rest in the frosting.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F (177\u00b0C) and grease a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4uobNL1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">9-inch square baking pan<\/a> or line with aluminum foil or parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished brownies out (makes cutting easier!). Set aside.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">Place the butter and chopped chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 30-second increments, whisking after each, until completely smooth. Whisk in the sugar and 1\/2 cup (120g\/ml) of reduced Guinness until completely combined. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract. Finally, whisk in the flour, salt, and espresso powder (if using). The batter will be thick and shiny. Pour\/spread evenly into prepared pan.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">Bake for 32 minutes, then test the brownies with a toothpick. Insert it into the center of the pan. If it comes out coated with wet batter, the brownies need more time. If there are only a few moist crumbs, the brownies are done. Keep checking every 2 minutes until you have moist crumbs. My brownies take about 35 minutes.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool completely in the pan before frosting or cutting.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\"><strong>Make the frosting:\u00a0<\/strong>In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the butter on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, about 2\u20133 minutes. Add the confectioners&#8217; sugar, beating on low at first then increasing to high speed. Once creamy and combined, beat in 2 Tablespoons of reduced Guinness, the espresso powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Taste. Add the remaining reduced Guinness if needed. If you want the frosting a little thinner, beat in a splash of milk.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">When cool, lift the brownies out by gripping the parchment overhangs and transfer to a cutting board. Spread frosting over cooled brownies. Use a sharp knife to cut into squares.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-8\">Cover and store leftover brownies at room temperature for up to 1 week.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipe-video-embed\" id=\"tasty-recipe-video-embed-66951\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipe-responsive-iframe-container\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 16 \/ 9;\"><iframe class=\"fitvidsignore fitvidsignore\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VWDtgZAnp5w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes\">\n\t\t\t<h3 style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Notes<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes-body\" style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n\t\t\t\t<ol>\n<li><strong>Make Ahead Instructions:<\/strong>\u00a0Freeze frosted or unfrosted brownies up to 3 months.
