Coffee Barbecue Sauce from Texas Highways

I like this sauce because it's not overly sweet or thick and ketchupy. I like a sauce that lets the flavor of the meat come through. I always serve on the side in case I have guests that do not wish to have sauce on their meat. Makes a pretty good mop if your meat is drying out before the center is done. I prefer it on beef rather than pork personally. Rumor has it that it cures hangovers if you drink it straight, I am not that brave, lol.
