My nephew gifted me with various interesting beers over the summer. On one delivery, I ended up with a can of double chocolate stout, which seemed a bit challenging to drink on its own. I HAVE had Guinness Stout in the past, and though I can drink the first half pint without too much trouble, by the second half, as it warms up, it’s rough going. So, I decided to search out a bread recipe that might make good use of the beer. For texture, I decided to add some coarsely chopped walnuts to the dough.
The result was an interesting bread with a bitter undertone that became wearing as I made my way through the loaf.
I ate it in as many ways as I could, including toasted and spread with peanut butter or as a base for scrambled eggs.
I turned it into French toast with a generous pour of maple syrup and served as part of a hearty brunch.
In a final move, I cubed and toasted the bread and turned it into a bread pudding served with Bird’s custard.
With time, I made my way through the loaf. It was not a failure but I wouldn’t make this bread again. PS: I took a sip or three of the extra beer in the can and it wasn’t to my taste either.
Cooking is Fun ... Really!! 
You certainly did your best to get the most out of it
Thank you. It took me a while but I ate every bite.
Interesting bread, I’m assuming it wasn’t overly chocolate flavoured as the eggs would make a wild combination!!
The chocolate flavour was there but it didn’t taste dessert like.
