An array of hefty flavors ranging from super sweet, to tart, to incredibly spicy, makes this an interesting sauce...if you can get beyond it's overly manufactured feel.

Pretty Damn Good
More Sauce Reviews

In the Texas tradition, D&W BBQ Sauce is tomato-based, runs thin, and is more tangy than sweet. While it loses some complexity after being cooked, out of the jar it has great layers of flavor that were strong enough to hold up to Lone Star standards like brisket and sausage.

Having a very smooth and mellow balance between tomato and vinegar, this sauce works best as a dip or condiment, best suited to dress a plate of mutton in the true Moonlite tradition.
