Pearson and I try some hot sauces from Make it Wayne; Reaper Berry Blaze and Scorched Earth.

Contact Pepper Donkey for more information on buying this.

My son and I tried the Firewalker Running with the Reaper hot sauce. It wasn’t nearly Reaper hot but does have a nice flavor. It is a bit hotter than their original hot sauce, which is more habanero based.

My son Pearson and I had the pleasure of trying some amazing hot sauces sent to us by Hugo Vera, from Panama. In this video, we tried Diablo Verde and Argh!

I recently purchased a bottle of Chocolate Plague hot sauce from a jerky shop in Helen, GA. It was a bit pricey, but I think it was a limited run edition from Puckerbutt pepper company. This was made in collaboration with Steven McLaurin, who created the version of Chocolate Bhutlah featured in this hot sauce.

This one of the better tasting sauces I’ve had for the level of heat it brought. A little goes a long way, but the flavor is very good. You can taste the Chocolate Bhutlah, along with the vinegar which gives it a nice twang.

I did find it for sale on Amazon, much cheaper than I paid in the store.

I tried Elijah’s Xtreme Ghost Pepper Sauce. It’s very good, has a silky texture, a lot more heat than Elijah’s Xtreme Reaper sauce. You can see my video review of this below.

Review of D3 Pepper’s Angry Jack hot sauce.

• Flavor (1-10) : 7
• Heat (1-10) : 7

Very nice hot sauce from D3 Pepper’s featuring a multitude of peppers including some of his personal crosses. Overall the sauce to me was very good, smoky and hot, with a good balance of vinegar tanginess and some sweetness. The heat was very impressive but not overwhelming.

Video Review:

Pique Carib Guyaba and Guyaba Pina

 

Background

The Pique Carib line of sauces were created by Jesus Rosario. At this time, he currently had two sauces under the Pique Carib label; Guyaba and Guyaba Pina. The pina version has pineapple added. I believe both have guava fruit. I’m not sure what all the ingredients are, but know it’s from his personal collection of peppers that he grows. I ‘think’ there might be some Bonda ma Jacques in there somewhere, but that’s just speculative.

Notes

Amount tasted: teaspoon
Heat: 3
Flavor:  8 – Very sweet, tropical
Burn Profile: Tongue
Effects: None
Cap Cramps Potential: None

Review

I will combine both sauces in the same review, as they were very similar.  The sauces came in plastic sauce bottles, with lids that pop open. Jesus said they are food safe and manufactured locally in Puerto Rico.  The sauce had a pretty thin consistency, with a few pieces of fruit and seed floating around. The heat was on the mild end for chili heads, but higher end for non chili heads who like hot stuff. I think it was a perfect level to enjoy the flavor while getting a nice mouth burn. I would say the heat was lower-medium for me. The non-pina sauce seemed a tad hotter. Both were very, very sweet. The base flavor seemed about the same, the pineapple came through on the pina version. This is a great condiment when you want a sweeter sauce, that you can use liberally. The balance of heat, sweet and overall flavor is very good.

I reviewed Elijah’s Xtreme Reaper Sauce yesterday. I found this hot sauce at a local Ingle’s supermarket, but is also available at Amazon. It is produced in Gastonia North Carolina, near Charlotte. The flavor is very good, has kind of a dark sweet blend. The main flavor ingredients are Black Cherries and Cranberries, but they are overshadowed by the bourbon, vanilla, and sugar flavors. You can still taste the fruit though, but first impressions were the bourbon and vanilla. Although the label and description on the bottle imply a very hot sauce, the heat is actually pretty mild (to medium). It started with a stinging tongue burn, then overall mouth. The heat kind of radiated, but at no point was it very hot. I think you could use this liberally on anything you would use sweet flavored condiments on. Probably would go great with a Thanksgiving meal with all the cranberries in it. Elijah’s also has a Ghost Pepper sauce, which I have not tried. I saw another review saying that it was hotter than the Reaper sauce, so I’m assuming it has a higher concentration of peppers. The next time I’m at Ingles and see it available I’ll buy a bottle and do a review on it.

Ingredients shown on the label:
Black Cherries, brown sugar, tomato paste, cranberry sauce, Carolina Reaper Peppers, Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey, white onion, vinegar, vanilla extract, sea salt.
