Pain is Good Batch No.218 Louisiana Hot Sauce

I ordered a bunch of hot sauces, from Siracha to tabasco to Tapatio to a whole variety of Louisiana style hot sauces. This sauce here takes the cake for every day use. It's labeled as medium heat and around 4000 scolvile so it's pretty weak, however I found it actually is substantially more hotter on taste than the other sauces around this range, as far as heat goes I can easily compare it to Habanero Tabasco sauce (which is about 8000 scolvile) if not a bit more, at least to me it's hotter than labeled (not a bad thing). However, the taste is what really makes this sauce - it's delicious. The consisentency is great, slightly thick, non of this watery/runny sauces and no vinegar taste (if you're not a fan) . This and Tapatio for me stole the show for low level heat sauces for every day use.

No idea what the poor reviews are about, this sauce is delicious, fruity, smoky and just the right level of heat. Polished the bottle off in a few days it was that good. The only issue is the price which makes this an expensive sauce to use on a regular basis.

A really nice sauce. If you're doing a hot ones challenge, this has to be in the list!

If you like really spicy sauce this is the one for you, flavor is really good, if you have a weak stomach then maybe avoid :}

Good product

👍

I love it and I want more. It is f*** hot and spicy and your food is gone burnnnn If you like spicy food buy it

Unfortunately I have no idea of the quality of this hot sauce, my low review is down to the listing here on Amazon. It clearly states that the item is "suitable for vegetarians" but once the sauce arrived the bottle itself clearly shows that one of the ingredients is fish (which as far as I know isn't a vegetable). I'm just adding this review to warn any other vegan or veggies (or those with allergies) that are looking to spice up their carrots.

... und nicht einfach nur scharf. Auch bei geringer Dosierung gibt es eine schöne rauchige Note mit leichter Schärfe. Und wer den richtigen Bums will, einfach mehr nehmen. Superlecker!

Es una salsa muy rica aunque pica menos de lo que promete. Me ha durado poco y echando mucha cantidad apenas sudo un poco. Lo mejor su sabor.

Ich finde diese Soße klasse. Besonders zum Steak nehme ich die gerne her. Sie hat für mich genau die richtige Schärfe (der Punkt kurz bevor es ZU scharf ist) und schmeckt einfach lecker (und nicht nur scharf). Werde ich wieder kaufen!

Full disclosure: I'm a huge fan of the YouTube show, First We Feast presents Hot Ones. I think it's a wildly entertaining interview show and it has reinvigorated my love of all things spicy! Moving on to the review, I had purchased this because I had noticed that everyone on the show had expressed how much they liked the flavor of this hot sauce, even with its painful bite. Now, for chili heads this is extremely tame, but I find myself in between the normal crowd and the insanity of chilidom. I adore the flavor of this sauce and have already gone through 1/4 the bottle in one day, because I carried it around with me and put it on everything. That being said, if you use it like normal hot sauce, you'll enjoy the complex flavor (albeit its main ingredient is malt vinegar so hot sauce fanatics will know the base flavor) while appreciating a medium burn. If you take a chug (which I do with Tabasco as if it were apple juice) then you will feel the creep of those habaneros and you'll start reaching for milk as if you were a death row convict reaching for the bible. A wonderful and flavorful hot sauce, I give it an A+

A bit warmer than the usual grocery store hot sauces- but not stupid hot. It has a pleasant sort of sweet paprika smokey flavor to it, while still warming your mouth up. Very good on chicken and chicken wings, although its not like the traditional "buffalo wings" style flavor. I also tried it as a replacement for catsup and mustard on a burger - it works there, but not as well as on chicken. It does go nicely on pork ribs as well. I found the "heat" part just above my usual threshold, but it has a pretty short "heat halflife" going down, and I didn't notice any problems on the other side, if you know what I mean. I enjoyed it as a change in scenery, but I don't think I'd replace my usual hot sauces - I prefer a more vinegary flavor. Still, its worth a try just because of the pleasant flavor, and I might order it again for a special picnic or something.
