Reviews

"This was a very tasty chili with lots of flavors going on! We used Bell's Consecrator doppelbock (an American microbrew) for the beer. I started having mine without the suggested toppings of sour cream and cheese but found that I preferred it on there. And the flavor was so complex- I couldn't even tell there were 2 cups of coffee among the flavorings. Thanks for sharing. ~Sue"
