Beer Cheese Bread

Sooz Cooks's Note:

This is a slightly sweet bread, dense textured bread that is really easy to make and delicious with Cheese and Beer Soup. I like to make it around Oktoberfest or anytime during the fall and winter.

The texture and taste of the bread is really good; however, I'm wondering if the baking powder ingredient has a typo. My bread rose up really high in the middle --the rest of the bread looked just right. I also added 1 cup cheese--and think more cheese could be used. Will make again with less leavening.
