Label:
To me, this is the perfect label, nothing more and nothing less than I would expect. No flashy graphics or gimmicks, just descriptive information.
Looks:
The appearance is that of a bbq sauce or a steak sauce, which is exactly what it tases like. It has a dark brown color, and a medium consistency that is just thick enough and not at all runny. The texture is glossy and smooth, with no chunks, similar to a ketchup.
Aroma:
The aroma is slightly exotic with the forward notes here being the bitter tamarind blending with the sweetness of raisin and a smokey chili.
Taste:
The taste is very reminiscent of a steak sauce like A-1 or Pick-a-Peppa, due to the dominance of the tamarind. I could eat it straight from the bottle for it's delicious smokey sweetness, with very mild heat. This one is a crowd pleaser and makes a good table sauce for meats.
Heat:
You could drink this stuff and feel no burn. This sauce is big on flavor, not heat, which is definitely not a deal breaker for me. It's still packed with great warm flavor that adds to your dish, and just enough heat to accent that flavor.
Overall:
Overall, this sauce kicks butt in the flavor department, and it's a bit spicy, but I wouldn't mind if it packed just a bit more heat.
