As promised, I'm finally going to finish up the Sweet Baby Ray's Monday spotlight. I've already reviewed these SBR flavors:
Our reviews will continue for three more weeks, finishing up with the secret Sweet Baby Ray's sauce. Today's flavor is Honey Chipotle, one of the newer additions to the Ray family.
FLAVOR - Sweet honey and deep smoky chipotle, with a peppery, medium heat finish
CONSISTENCY - Thick and gooey
APPEARANCE - Typical BBQ sauce reddish-brown, visible black flecks when spread thin

While the consistency, appearance and smell of the SBR sauces have been very similar across the board, flavor is where each sauce really stands out. The Honey Chipotle makes good use of the now-ubiquitous smoked jalapeno taste.
I find this sauce to be the spiciest of the lot (even more so than Sweet 'n Spicy). I really like to use it on Latin American cuisine (especially great on anything Mexican) as well as meatloaf.
