Does Guinness cake taste like beer?

Name: Guinness Chocolate Cake
Ingredients: 64 grams unsweetened Dutch process cocoa powder (3/4 C); 624 grams Guinness Stout ((reduced to 312 g) ); 100 grams eggs (approx 2 large eggs ); 400 grams granulated sugar (approx 2 cups ); 240 grams sour cream (approx 1 cup); 125 grams sunflower oil (approx 1/2 cup ); 20 grams vanilla bean paste (1 tablespoon); 210 grams all purpose flour (approx 1 3/4 cup); 10 grams baking soda (2 teaspoon); 7 grams kosher salt (1 1/4 teaspoon ); 170 grams white chocolate (approx 1 cup ); 226 grams cream cheese (softened 8oz block ); 113 grams unsalted butter (softened 1/2 cup )

Question

Accepted Answer

No. When Guinness stout is reduced and baked into the batter, the alcohol cooks off, and the beer flavor transforms. Instead of tasting like beer, it adds deep notes of chocolate, caramel, and butterscotch that enhance the cocoa in the cake.
