Meyer's Elgin Smokehouse makes a variety of rubs, sauces and other delectible delights that I have had the privalige of reviewing. The Original BBQ sauce is no exception. From its sweet and tangy scent to its mouth filling flavor this sauce is a delight.
First Look
The Original Barabecue sauce is a beautiful amber color with spices suspended in it. It has a nice consistencey for pouring and for painting onto meats. When you open the bottle you get a whiff tomatoes, sweetness and vinegar which makes your mouth start to water.
Taste
When tasted by itself, you can taste the tomato at the front along with a sweet tang from the sugar and vinegar. At the end there is a little heat. Not a mouth numbing heat of a hot sauce but a warming sensation from the pepper in it that is nice. You can also taste undertones of onion and garlic which really help to balance out the sweetness.
Use
I used this sauce on MOINK balls for the final glaze. The sweetness and salt brought out the flavors of the bacon and meatballs and made for a wonderful flavor. This sauce would be great for finishing off ribs, chicken and pork chops. The balance of it enhances the flavors of the rubs and meat.
Final Analysis
I like this sauce. On the Gibbs Ribs scale* it gets a solid full rack of ribs. It brings great flavor to a dish without overpowering it and makes for a good dipping sauce for fries.

*When I do reviews, books or otherwise, I rate the items with ribs (they are my favorite BBQ dish). A full rack is great and a single rib is poor. I will tend to stick to a full rack, half rack or one rib.
