For a richer flavor, consider using a dark beer such as a stout or porter.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference for spiciness.
If you have time, let the chili cool completely and then refrigerate overnight. The flavors will develop even further.
Serve with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped onions, and cilantro.
A touch of brown sugar can help balance the acidity of the tomatoes if needed.
