Guinness

Guinness is a world-famous Irish stout brewed since 1759 in Dublin. It is characterized by its deep black color, thick creamy head, and complex flavor with notes of roasted barley, coffee, and chocolate. In the kitchen, it is widely used for braising beef, the classic example being Irish Beef and Guinness Stew. It is also added to bread dough, marinades, sauces, and even chocolate desserts, where it deepens the flavor. Most of the alcohol evaporates during cooking. The beer is brewed at approximately 4.2% ABV and is an iconic symbol of Irish culture.
