    I have won chili contests with this recipie. I add a little less Guiness and substitute Tequila. Like one of the other comments, this gets better the second day!! The flavors really come out over night. I use hot chili beans and add some Jalepeno pieces to kick it up even more. Great recipie.

    Awesome recipe, different than all the typical chili recipes. Makes a great sandwich too! It does need to have a little more kick but that can always be added...up to the cook!

    I have just begun a search for a fantastic chili recipe. I was kind of disappointed that this did not taste or smell like chili to me. This dish was pleasantly aromatic, and it had a slightly bitter aftertaste. This mild chili has no heat (why is it called Kickin? and is not sweet. I suppose one could still say that its complex. It tastes pretty good and I will eat it all. I love chili, but am looking for something more traditional. This recipe was easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly, but the Emeril seasoning I bought just said "essence", not "SouthWest essence". I chose Newcastle Brown Ale for the dark beer.

    Really GREAT recipe! I've made it about three times now and it's always a hit, especially during the holidays and football playoff/Super Bowl season. I keep it in my "Recipe Box" here on the website so I can easily access. The last time I made it was at a friend's house and I didn't have my recipe with me. No problem. There it was! Thnx Emeril, you rock, Sugah! Lucy

    When I first made this chili, I was disappointed. My husband and I ate it but it was way too bland for us. When we tried eating leftovers the second day, my husband asked me if it was the same chili! I told him yes but the flavor was unbelievable. I guess the flavors had time to come together and it was awesome. Now we always wait until the second day to eat this when I make it. It takes some planning ahead but its well worth it. We put it in Paula Deen's bread bowl receipe. This is the only chili I think I will ever make!

    I have made this chili a few times, and always add a few jalapenos and red chilis cut in half lengthwise when I add the beans to give it extra heat. I definitely add more salt and chocolate, as following his instructions can lead to being bland. We use Newcastle Brown, and have found that to be the best, and ALWAYS use dark chocolate (it will add an incredible depth of flavor. All in all, this is a really fun chili to try new flavors with. Enjoy!
