While it's still relatively thin like a vinegar-based sauce, Bill's has plenty of sweetness, with a ketchup base and a healthy dose of brown sugar. But my favorite part is the "peppery pop" that the label advertises. After an extended sweet and tangy opening salvo, the coda of pepper which follows is fresh and invigorating. What makes it unique is that it's not chipotle or habanero, but black pepper, and lots of it, with some red pepper added for variety. It's not so much hot as...peppery.
Overall, an excellent sauce - definitely one of my favorites so far in this ongoing series.

Great description! It sounds intriguing, and I'd love to try it! I hope I win.
I love BBQ and always looking for a good sauce (at least until I learn to make my own). Thanks for the contest.
This sounds like an interesting BBQ sauce. Thanks for the chance to try it.
Sounds like a great one to win, because I grew up with a Piedmont style sauced bbq.
I think I NEED this to do something for my brisket. Help me out bro!
Sounds like a good sauce. I like a little pop of pepper and vinegar.
