not overly sweet, Member SylviaScarlet

good flavor from all the onions and peppers. i was hesitant about the coffee but you don't really taste it. the sauce was nice bc it was sweet but not too sweet and a very good compliment to beef. you don't need to use much bc it might be overpowering if you slathered it on. it got thicker and more flavorful the second day.
