These beans were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think I'll use less chili powder next time. Otherwise, they were delicious!

I was a bit hesitant to try these beans because I'm not a big fan of beer, but I'm so glad I did! The beer flavor is subtle and really adds to the overall flavor of the dish. I'll definitely be making these again.
