"There are a whole lot of things to know about Guinness, but in the context of desserts, let's focus on its deep, smooth, creamy flavor with notes of coffee and caramel. These rich qualities enhance the taste of both milk and dark chocolate. Many beer tasters also cite chocolate as one of Guinness' tasting notes, so it's no wonder why it reinforces the taste of cocoa-infused sweets."
"Even if it's not your favorite beer, most recipes don't use enough to give the dessert an overt Guinness taste. The stout simply lifts up the flavor profile to make it extra intense and delicious. Guinness chocolate cake is a classic example of this winning combination. Not only does the beer improve the flavor, but the carbonation helps to aerate and raise the cake, making it nice and soft."
Guinness stout adds deep, smooth, creamy flavor with coffee and caramel notes that enhance both milk and dark chocolate. Many tasters identify chocolate among Guinness' tasting notes, so the stout reinforces cocoa flavors without overwhelming the dessert when used modestly. Typical recipes use about one cup of stout; its carbonation helps aerate and raise cakes, producing a soft crumb. Guinness can be added to cake mixes, mousses, cheesecakes, cookies, and frostings. To avoid runny batters or frostings, reduce the stout by boiling about 20 minutes to evaporate excess liquid and concentrate flavor.
