Stir in the tomatoes, coffee and tomato paste. 3.Add the brown sugar, chile sauce, cocoa powder, hot pepper, cumin, coriander, cayenne, salt and kidney beans. Return the meat to the pot.

The small cumin seed looks looks demur and humble, But its nutty peppery flavor packs a punch. Grind the seeds yourself in a mortar and pestle. Breath deep. The smell will be its own reward for the labor. But when it comes to adding a nutty and peppery flavor to chili... it is critical.
If you are going to use beer... why not use one of your all-time favorites? After all the recipe required you drink some it.
