Belgian Raspberry Brownies with Truffle Ganache

The roots of this problem are difficult to trace. Perhaps the urge began when I turned twenty one, and buying beer and wine was liberating. Maybe I purchased too much one time, decided to use it in cooking, and became accustomed to the flavor.Maybe it's my German heritage that's speaking to me; my Bavarian blood is craving malted barley and hops.
