Looks good and I'm sure tastes even better!
I used to enjoy a glass of draught Guinness rather than a can!

If these use the recipe that you posted on The Fresh Loaf, I can recommend them very highly to everyone on A4A!  :)

It looks fantastic!
Did you make it in the usual way, but substituting the guinness for water?

[Jayb]

Mmmm, looks sensational and I wish I could have smelt it as it came from the oven ;D

thank you for the compliment, yes most of my baking does get posted on TFL...

And yes  for this I only used Guinness for the liquid instead of water.
The finished bread made a very nice sandwich with Canadian 5 year cheddar also ham.... you got just a hint of the Guinness , more so on the second day..... qahtan

Wow! Lovely! I've just got into making bread again, I'll have a go at this thanks :)

That looks absolutely fab-did you make it by hand? I seem to have a problem with my loaves not rising properly in my breadmaker.They seem to be rising very nicely then when it's finished has shrunk back down but yours look so professional

[lottiedolly]

that looks fab, you can see that you did not make it in a breadmaker

saying that, i got one recently and it makes a lot of sense for a working woman with an allotment, garden and chickens and no time to make bread properly  :)

There's a lot of scope for experimenting there! And I can't think why I haven't thought of it before - after all, you can make batter using beer instead of milk or water! And years ago my wife visited a bakery in a small village in Normandy where the baker added a good quantity of white wine to the mix!

I feel a London Pride loaf coming on....

Years ago, when Guinness was bottle conditioned, my husband cultivated the yeast from the bottom of a bottle and used it to make bread. It was very good, especially with cheese and onions.

I am going to make apple fritters tomorrow, and wil put Guinness in the batter.,,,,,
  Gerry went and picked the apples I ordered yesterday. I wanted roughly 2 at 11 quart baskets, my friend Erika wanted one. yes, the apple were wonderful.. they were as I asked for Mutsu, Gerry counted at least 24 plus, each weighed almost 1 pound each, asked Brian the farmer, how much?
Brian said $ 3 each,,,,, wow,,,, last night we gerry and I were going to split one and have it while watching TV, each of us put half of our half in a ziploc into the fridge,,,, too much to eat... double wow..... qahtan
   $3 is roughly 2 GBP,
