St. Patty's Day is not to far away. Here's something seasonal for that. We used to make these up in Michigan.

Grace Neill’s Chocolate and Guinness Brownies
Yields: 8 - 10

Grace Neill’s is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest bar in Ireland. If first opened as the King’s Arms in Donaghadee, County Down, and was renamed in the nineteenth century for its former landlady, a woman who reportedly greeted all visitors to the inn with a welcoming kiss in between puffs on her clay pipe. Today, guests at Grace Neill’s, which includes a bar and restaurant named Bistro Bistro, often report “sightings” of the Victorian woman, which some attribute to one too many servings of these Guinness-spiked brownies.

4 eggs
¾ c sugar
8 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
4 oz white chocolate, chopped
6 T unsalted butter
¾ c flour
¾ c cocoa powder
1 ¼ c Guinness Stout
Powdered sugar for dusting

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Butter an 8 x 8” square pan. In an electric mixer, combine the eggs and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, melt the bittersweet chocolate, white chocolate, and butter, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and beat into the egg mixture. Sift the flour and cocoa together and beat into the chocolate mixture. Whisk in the Guinness. Pour into the pan and bake for 20 - 25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out almost clean. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. To serve, dust the cake with powdered sugar and cut into squares.

that sounds great but how many thousand calories per brownie?

I'm not sure.

These aren't that sweet. Be prepared for a slightly bitter taste, due to the Guiness.
