Derrick Riches from About.com Barbecues and Grilling, "I tried it, and better yet, my supertaster wife tried it and we both agreed it was very good. Our analysis is:
First of all, it tastes like barbecue sauce. Amazingly enough many people deviate from this basic principle and while not a bad thing, certainly in the traditions of barbecue there are sauces that don't have the "barbecue" flavor that many people expect, it is my opinion that to call something barbecue sauce, it should at least resemble it. SFQ does that.
But more than that traditional southern combination of tomato and tangy vinegar flavors, SFQ has a definite Mole' charm. Of course the combination of chocolate and chilies are going to give you that, but the layering is what is impressive. First you get the barbecue, then the mole' that doesn't detract, but adds.
From here there is a complex layering of spices. A touch of heat with a richness that defies definition. No one spice stands out, but they work in a harmony that gives SFQ a complex but not overpowering flavor. It is here that the coffee does its magic of blending all these flavors together."
Frankie Kimm, from Cold Spring, New York, uses her SFQ for some amazing looking pulled pork sliders! Frankie says, "I don’t know crap about sports. I thought the Green Bay Packers were from San Francisco (turns out they’re not). But the barbeque sauce on my home made pulled pork sliders IS!

Chef Stuart Deb Donald, "When you first sample SFQ you won't taste the chocolate or the coffee what you will taste is something that is far more complex than your standard BBQ sauce. SFQ has nuances and layers of flavor that are simply unheard of."- Video Recipe: Embarcadero Barbecue with SFQ Sauce
