This is one of the most flavorful sauces I've ever had & it's aroma is even top notch as well. You begin this journey with a wonderful medley of amazing taste wrapped in a bundle of sweet goodness that reels you into a false sense of security just before the peppers commence their "sting." It is a warm concoction no question, but not to the extent where you feel like you've just ingested molten lava. If you love Spice, sweetness & all that is nice, Karma Carnival is a definite winner!

This stuff kicks like a mule getting its balls branded the burn is instant and the sauce had a good consistency and texture... not sweet at all pure fire!

If you've had the Los Calientes, this has a similar tasty fruity front end and a bigger slower burn that kicks in at the tail end - it's the big brother version of Los Calientes. Really great tropical taste and I'll definitely buy this one again. I can see this working on most dishes but probably best in situations where a sweet and sour sauce (with a kick) would work best.

I threw this onto a sandwich just now and put probably something like 10 drops. It was likely too much because my mouth is on fire but such a great flavor.

I love the flavor of this sauce. Has a very good kick, and the grounded black pepper with green mango make a surprisingly good combination. Definitely enjoy using it.

Since day 1 of buying sauces from The Heatonist, we have been using them on frozen wings and legs that we deep fry ourselves. We've found it's a good base to get the true taste of the sauces we try. This one brought some noticeable heat. It made me do the "I can't close my mouth", or the "retarded dragon breathing" thing after biting wings coated in this sauce. I ate said wings about 30-40 mins ago and I still feel the warm-tingle feeling on my lips, like a strange version of a hug. This sauce definitely had more heat than flavor in my opinion, though. It made my eyes water, but I can't remember what the taste was supposed to be, other than "hot sauce". Don't get me wrong, I do like it. Might send to a relative or friend for the holidays.
