All the alkanes are flammable, including methane. Liquified methane is not too different than propane, and is even odorless in pure form. What’s produced by animals is not exactly in pure form.

Most of the odor comes from sulfur-bearing compounds, usually hydrogen sulfide. Although with the right kind of input, I think I've managed to bio-synthesize an entire new class of "foul."
