This was pretty good., but way over complicated with too many ingredients that you don't end up tasting anyway. All you need for a good chile is beans, meat, onions and a couple spices. You can save your money on the rest.

By far the best chili I've ever made. My husband ate it for three days straight! The only change I made was using fresh ground bison meat instead of beef. Fantastic!

This chili is amazing! First of all, my wife hates chili, ooops, I meant Hates chili with a capital 'H.' I had some time one day to pull this together, and not only did I love it, but she did too. With the beer and coffee, it adds some original taste that makes the chili completely unique. It does take a little time to prepare for the first time, but it was well worth it.

This is the BEST chili I have ever had! I have made it twice now in the past two weeks! Eventhough the flavor of the first batch tasted great, it was a bit too spicy for my palate. Therefore, the second batch I only used one habenero and one annaheim pepper. I found that when I reduced the peppers, the chili is just a bit too sweet. I will 1/2 the brown sugar the recipe calls for the next time I make it with less peppers. Also, the first time, I didn't have a dark beer on hand and used a domestic beer. The second time, I used New Castle and WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! As others have suggested, I used 2 tablespoons of wasabi instead of the 1 that it calls for which really pumps up the deliciousness of the recipe! I served this last batch with some friends, topped with cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and slices of warm french bread. Fifteen minutes later, there wasn't a drop left!

This is the best chili I've ever tasted and I have tasted A LOT of chili. When making this recipe, I was a little concerned about how much chili powder was in the recipe, but it turned out to be just the right amount when blended with all the other spices and chili peppers. My health-conscious boyfriend did the shopping for this recipe and he substituted the spicy italian sausages with spicy turkey sausages and ground beef with ground turkey making this recipe delicious AND extra healthy. I used guiness for the dark beer, which my roommate was not too thrilled about since I stole one of his bottles, but he raved about the chili afterwards. Thanks Aaron for sharing the recipe.

This chili was the perfect warmer-upper comfort food during the last two big power outages here in the Seattle area. I made it on a propane camp stove, and since I couldn't get to the store, I substituted for some of the ingredients with what we had on hand (canned roasted California chiles instead of fresh chiles, sweet Italian sausage instead of spicy, chicken instead of beef, a smaller amount of cayenne instead of chili powder). Instead of prepared wasabi, which is expensive and not something I keep on hand, I mixed a tablespoon of prepared horseradish with a pinch of two of turmeric (virtually the same thing, taste-tested and approved by my Japanese daughter-in-law). Now the only question is: If I make it again, will the power stay on?

Our absolute favorite chili and a family favorite. Everyone always wants the recipe. Don't be worried that it will be too spicy (with the all the peppers and the wasabi) because it comes out just right. I add just a little extra brown sugar to taste at the end to make sure its just right.

This was the best chili I have ever eaten! The only ingredient I left out was the habanero pepper, and the chili still retained a lovely 'pepper burn', without being overwhelming. An oven warm loaf 'Pillsbury Crusty French Loaf' completed a perfect meal.

I made this chili for a cook-off and got an honorable mention. I removed the coffee and used Newcastle beer. The italian sausage makes this chili a bit on the sweet side. Next time I'll just use ground pork.

This is a great chili but to sweet and soupy for me. Next time I’ll leave out the sugar, drain the cans of beans and use a full pound of Italian sausage and see how it is then.

This is THEE best chili I have ever made. I used New Castle Beer, and I also tossed in a square of bakers chocolate. I could not find an anaheim or serrano pepper, so I substituted 1 jalepno and 1/2 poblano pepper. I also used 1# chuck roast in lieu of ground beef. It's a keeper!

This recipe has a wonderful complexity of flavors. The wasabi paste & Italian sausage give it a little kick and is very tasty. The coffee flavor came through more than I wanted so I will reduce it to 1/2 cup next time. I only used one anaheim pepper, substituted a jalapeno for the habenero pepper, & added extra garlic. I will definitely make it again!

I made this for our church's chili cookoff solely because the ingredient list was so crazy. I won the coveted "Golden Ladle" beating out about 20 other entries. Great recipe! The only changes I made are to add more garlic and wasabi. Next time, I'll add one can of drained black beans since my batch came out less thick than I like.
