2. Butter and flour an 8 8-inch baking pan,preferably metal.
3. In a bowl, mix the melted, browned butter and the two sugars.

Combine all well.
5. Melt chocolate chips with the beer in top of adouble boiler. Then add to the aboveingredients.
6. Mix the flour, salt, cocoa powder, and cooled,roasted walnut pieces in another bowl. Thenadd to the liquid ingredients. Mix together.
