Directions
Notes
Xingu Black Beer is an anise-scented, bittersweet black lager from Brazil. It's available in most states.
Suggested Pairing
Raichlen uses Brazilian lager in this dish, but stout is a fine substitute. Two great American stouts that will taste delicious with this chicken are the Samuel Adams Cream Stout, with its deep roasted-malt notes, and the espresso-scented Deschutes Obsidian Stout.
