Waggie Steak Sauce – Jalapeño, Shiitake & Smoky Paprika

Tasting Notes
On the nose, Waggie opens with smoky paprika and a hint of molasses sweetness. The first bite delivers a savory, tangy punch from aged malt and red wine vinegar, followed by a warm jalapeño heat that builds slowly. The finish is smooth and lingering — earthy from the shiitake, with a gentle sweetness that keeps you coming back for another dip.
