I bought this sauce after seeing it on a hot ones episode and its very tasty but cmon this sauce is hot-hot, they have it listed as 6/10 on the website but it should be bumped up to 7/10. Definitively recommend it

The flavor and heat were both amazing. The only thing that prevented a 5* rating was that the heat didn't last. Loved it on my wings. I'll definitely buy again.

This sauce is simple and pretty traditional; however, the roasted peppers add a nice smokiness. It has great flavor and I have enjoyed it mostly in chili and on tacos. I smeared it on a couple restaurant sandwiches that had other sauces/flavors, and the sauce got lost in the flavor profile. The heat on this isn't too intense and has a nice controlled burn -- it doesn't seem to get hotter with each bite like other sauces. Instead, it has a consistent warmth that lasts decently long but does not ruin your ability to taste. My only criticism is the bottle is kind of small and goes quickly. This is a good staple sauce but nothing revolutionary. I can see buying again.

I really like the fire roasted habanero. Pretty much a habanero mash so its pretty spicy but not to hot where you can't enjoy it. My new go to sauce for pretty much everything.

This is one of my new favorites. The charred habaneros give it a wonderful flavor, and it's definitely a creeper. The heat comes in a bit late, so use with caution. I also don't find it very vinegary, which I personally love. Sauces that are too heavy on the vinegar don't go over well with me. I will agree the sauce is a bit thick and hard to get out of the bottle at first, but once you've gotten past the first few uses it'll come out a lot easier. I especially love putting this on eggs, but I use it on pretty much everything now.

This sauce is spicy is hell but so good. The Char give its a good flavor. The spice lasts but is manageable.

Good flavor, very thick, and hard to get out of the bottle. I like my hot sauces to have flavor other than the awful extract taste or only burning heat. I typically try a teaspoon of sauces I’ve never tried before to get the skinny on the flavor. This bottle I shock multiple times, tapped it and little bits would barely escape the bottle. The heat is solid, but doesn’t linger too long except my inner lip was hot for a while.

I don't know, I just couldn't really get behind this one. I'm not entirely sure what wasn't jiving with me on this one, but it just wasn't quite doing it. The sauce gave me a sweet start and then came in with the heat, which just kind of took over at that point. The burn lasted a while, too. Not that that's always terrible, but yeah... I wish I could put my finger on just wasn't working for me. If you have a dish that is already a sweet/savory mix, maybe give it a shot, but it didn't do much for me.
