This is the taste of something "cooked over an open fire" in a bottle.  Smokey flavors and a great taste.  Not spicy.   Flame and Smoke is what you're looking for if you want to be the envy of all your friends.  Great on briskets and burgers, chops and venison, and any other meat you love to grill or smoke.  It's our favorite and adds a full-bodied flavoring to beans, eggs, popcorn, mac 'n cheese, and any other meat or vegetable dish.  No MSG or gluten.
