Wonderful recipe! I definitely arranged the spices to my liking, but not too much - you are right, a good cook must cook to their tastes. The other comment complaining about cinnimon - I really dont understand the complaint? Many cooks, professional chefs, add cinnimon and even chocolate into their chili - ever heard of Cincinatti chili? The cinnimon is in no way overpowering - you cannot smell it or taste anything resembling cinnimon. It seems to me that person didnt even attempt to make the chili, just posted a bogus comment because they "think" something shouldnt be added. But thats the norm on recipe sites. The cinnimon balances out the flavors and adds a warmness to the dish. I did use canned chipotles in adobo (i like more heat) and doubled the cumin. Loved the different bell peppers too, good color and taste - and the beer really deepens the flavor. I would definitely recommend this!

OK..This chili wasn't too bad. However, Cinnamon DOES NOT belong in chili. I figured since the recipe called for 1tsp of cinnamon it wouldn't be so bad. I WAS WRONG. Cinnamon is so over-powering its all I could smell while cooking, normally I wouldn't complain, who doesn't like the smell of cinnamon? BUT NOT IN CHILI. I would recommend this recipe but NOT the cinnamon. PLEASE LEAVE IT OUT!
