I used Young's Double Chocolate Stout in the recipe and served them with mint chocolate chip ice cream (like one of the pictures suggested.) WOW, they were AMAZING! Very easy and great for a party :)

Wow, I loved the stout flavor in these! The chocolate chips were also a welcome addition. I didn't add the white chocolate, just doubled (and a little more :)) the semisweet. Very heavy, dense brownies. Made for Best of 2010

WOW! I wonder if these should be Quadruple Chocolate because I count four kinds of chocolate! I used both dark cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips so mine were very rich and black with a subtle stout flavor. These were quick to make in the Cuisinart and make 12-16 good size brownies in an 8" x 8" pan.
