This sauce surprised me. While the pepper in its own right is quite hot it’s a quite flavorful sauce and the heat works well with flavor. When I went into this purchase of the sauce, I expected to be blown away by the heat, to be perfectly honest the heat was absolutely phenomenal. I’ll say if you’re not a true chilihead you may not appreciate this as much. One thing I will say, any chillhead should go into this expecting great heat and flavor. Highly recommended for a serious Chilihead.
