I followed this recipe exactly. BF and I both thought it was pretty good and over the course of 3 days ate most of it. I froze the rest. This did taste a lot like my moms chili, which is good too but has fewer ingredients then this one. Will try another recipe next time but will keep this one on file just in case. I also wanted to note after reading some other reviews that I did not find this chili too sweet and did not taste the beer or chocolate. It was just a good basic chili.

This recipe was not to my liking. Flavor of the beer and cocoa is ALL that you taste.

Just the right chili for my family of 6! Not too sweet & not too spicy & just right in the middle. It would be super easy to increase the heat with more pepper if that's what you like. I can not do beer or coffee due to food allergies but even without these, this was a HIT with all my 4 kids, and husband.

I loved this recipe, and so did the crowd I fed with it, but tonight I'm making it again and will reduce the sugar by 3/4. I thought it was too sweet. I'll add 1/4 cup of brown sugar rather than 1 cup. I served it with a basic cornbread recipe I found on this site and it was really excellent, very rich and flavorful, and the chocolate added complexity.

Hubby that doesn't like chili thought this was great! I love chili, and thought it was just OK. Used a combo of pintos and white beans (we don’t like kidney). Needed more seasonings.

Perfect chili recipe as is. If you're very sensitive to heat or have kids that are, I would halve or omit the cayenne, but the amount here isn't spicy to my taste.

I really liked this recipe for chili. I added some tabasco for a kick as well as some hot cherry peppers to spice it up more. Will make again.

I've just gotten back into cooking and found this recipe for chili. It is by far the best chili I've ever put in my mouth. My husband is finicky about his chili and he can't stop eating this stuff. He even met me at lunch today and said if he didn't have that chili he didn't want anything...and this is coming from a man that NEVER eats left overs!!

This was great in my slowcooker. I used dried beans which I started the night before. I added homemade canned roasted tomatoes. The beer and chocolate were inspired ingredients. By far my favorite chili recipe. thank you so much for sharing!

Wow! I made this for a party and nearly everyone asked me for the recipe! That has never happened to me before. I added a little extra steak and subbed in one can of black beans. Yum!

Excellent chili. I used two rather than four peppers (they were around 7" long), but otherwise followed the recipe. Lots of ingredients, but easy to make. Put half in the freezer for another day.

The chocolate, coffee, and sugar are well balanced and give this recipe a rich and complex flavor. It could have been spicier for me, but my wife who doesn't like spicy foods liked it as is.

I decided to make this chili for the first time for my neighborhood chili cookoff and WON! We had 12 chilis in the contest including the chili from Wendys (to throw people off). Mine won and Wendy's was 2nd! This chili has just the right amount of sweet and spicy! EXCELLENT!

This was the best chili I have ever made! I cut the brown sugar down to 2 T and used whatever beer I had (which wasn't dark) and I couldn't believe the flavors! Gave the recipe to 2 friends of mine who also made it and said it was the best! The sauce is so dark and rich! Served it at a party with every fixing you could imagine and it was gone in a flash. You really need to try this.

This chili recipe is awesome. I did make a couple changes because I was worried that it would be too spicey for my 5 and 3 year old. I put in 2 T chili powder and 2 jalapenos, instead of the 3 1/2 T and 4 chili peppers. I think I could have put in the rest of the chili powder and it still would have been mild enough for my girls. Oh, I did add a green pepper since it was in my fridge too. It was delicious... even my 5 year old tore it up. We just added a little cheddar and couple crackers and oh my goodness... amazing. It's sweet, and then it kicks you in the butt... just a little. : ) MAKE IT!

I was really excited to make this chili with beer however the taste of the beer was still too strong no matter how long I cooked it. I added some gravy master and some more beef broth. It is still good but not perfect.

This chili is spectacular. I followed the recipe exactly except in a few instances. 1. I browned the ground beef and sirloin in a separate pan so I could drain the grease. 2. I halved the amount of brown sugar. 3. I used a can of peeled, diced tomatoes with jalapenos and Anaheim chiles instead of hot peppers. Chickening out on the peppers is my only regret. My chili didn't have the heat I wanted. Next time I'll use hot peppers. Otherwise, it was fantastic!
