Slowly add dry ingredients to the egg mixture until well combined.

Bake for 35-38 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs. Allow brownies to cool.

To make ganache, place chocolate chips, butter and guinness into a microwave safe bowl and microwave until guinness gets hot and butter starts to melt.
