Guinness Adventures in the Kitchen *hic* Continue!

I needed bread to go with the Guinness mussels dish (and just for eating too) so why not a Guinness bread? This recipe was super easy to put together and it puffed up amazingly probably due to the leavening agent as well as all that carbonation! And just like all the other Guinness dishes, it smelled great while baking. For the true test, did it taste good? Actually, it did! However, there was a bit of bitter aftertaste most likely due to my using the Extra Stout. It has a super crunchy crust that has a flavor reminiscent of a cracker. =P The bread itself is soft, a bit crumbly and very robust tasting. I'd call it a hearty bread which when slathered with butter...mmmm...Smothering it in different types of goo made it more difficult to taste the bitterness.

Update: I remade this bread using regular Stout Guinness and it had no bitter aftertaste, though it was not as hearty and robust in flavor. Still good! And tastes great toasted too. =9~
