I get this truly awesome vinegar, BLack Vinegar, at some Asian grocery stores around Los Angeles. I have been saying its similar to Bragg liquid Aminos.

I have no idea what it's made out of, does anyone know for a fact what it is?

To the close voters: Please note that there is no "general reference" close reason across the network, ---so this question is on topic.--- On the other hand, we have a meta proposal to not accept these questions. See meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/86043/… for the network-wide discussion and meta.cooking.stackexchange.com/q/1023/41 for ours. I will keep back with the hammer vote in this disputed case. – rumtscho♦ Dec 1 '12 at 22:14

Black Vinegar is basically what it's called, and has a smoky and mellow flavor. It is made from rice, sometimes from glutinous rice and is sometimes used as a full-flavored but much cheaper balsamic vinegar. Hope this helps! :)
