“A bold blend that demands attention. Bring that classic A-1 ® sizzle to your burgers.” Bold statement. So for a sauce of this variety (a tribute sauce / cross marketed / hybrid sauce), the question is whether or not the BBQ sauce lives up to the name on the label. Although it does taste like they took Bull’s-eye and mixed it with a bit of A-1 steak sauce, I didn’t think the A1 steak sauce flavor pops out as much as it should. Like any Bull’s-eye variant, the texture is thick and rich and loves holding on the barbecued meat products. The way the sauce chars slightly when grilling is also a sight and taste to behold while other sauces simply thin up, burn off completely, or evaporate!

Pork Barrel Original BBQ Sauce (5/5)
April 18, 2011 By 5 Comments
Needless to say, I really liked this stuff. The flavor was complex and sophisticated and not sweet to my tastebuds. Some of the sauces I get are more like candy, while this is a sauce that took a spice rub concept as the incumbent; surrounded by a solid set of staffers from worlds of ketchup, worcestershire, chile paste, and liquid smoke. So that gives it a salty, savory flavor with a bit of smoke and seasonings. It’s a bin on the thin side, but not so thin as to distract from the great flavor that the sauce offers.

Cattle Boyz Original BBQ Sauce (4/5)
April 11, 2011 By 2 Comments
I like the secret ingredient in this one is the mix of a darkly sweet, molasses-based BBQ sauce flavor mixed with mustard and mustard bran. The mustard bran adds a little texture and almost a crunch to the sauce, much like adding little tiny bits of graham crackers to your yogurt. In a BBQ sauce, this is good or bad depending on your preference. Some questionable ingredients: Artificial color, modified corn starch, hydrolyzed soy proteins.
Grumpy’s Bold XX BBQ Sauce (5/5)
April 8, 2011 By 1 Comment
In late 2004 Jeff started up Grumpy’s with two sauces: Grumpy’s Bold XX (spicy) and Not So Bold (sweet). He describes it as a KC style BBQ sauce, but that doesn’t do enough to describe what’s happening in this bottle. The way I see it… there tends to be 2 kinds of people. There are […]
Grumpy’s Goodnight Loving BBQ Sauce (4/5)
April 6, 2011 By Leave a Comment
In 2006, Jeff Greenberg of Grumpy’s foods set out to make a sauce similar to the one at a local Texas-style BBQ joint in Denver called Frank’s Barbecue. While he admits he may not have perfected a clone of Frank’s sauce, the flavors did come out great and won a few Scoville awards in 2007 […]
Grumpy’s Not So Bold BBQ Sauce (3/5)
April 6, 2011 By Leave a Comment
One of the original 2 sauces produced by Grumpy’s , the Not So Bold sauce is described as a Sweet BBQ Sauce. And usually that’s not enough to describe most sauces with their nuances and different choice of sweeteners and whether they have smoke or spice and so on… but for this sauce, it’s almost […]
Nephew’s Peachy ‘Potle BBQ Sauce (4/5)
April 5, 2011 By 1 Comment
This is a solid sauce with a good texture and a very good taste to go with it – Nephew’s knows how to mix fruit with BBQ Sauce. The trick is (I think) to make it a subtle yet noticeable characteristic whereas a trace of the marketed fruit component remains in the forefront of the sauce flavor profile. The sauce is a great mix of tang, peach, chipotle, and traditional bbq sauce.
