chinense Goat/Choc Bhut F2 hybrids

This is a long term project with the (probably futile but still fun) goal of improving upon the best tasting and looking pepper to my taste - the Bahamian Goat.  Lots of interesting variations with this F2 set of around 25 plants. Most produce red peppers of various sizes and shapes, but a pic the two most interesting looking ones are attached, with a very pale peach, smooth Bhut-like pod on the left, and a caramel/mustard one on the right (edit). Both taste very good, with both Bhut and Goat flavours, not a hint of bitterness. The paler one is sweeter and milder. I'll move onto F3 with the paler pod next season, along with one of the reds, which is a small plant but insanely prolific and great flavour.

Interesting, would love to see more photos!
Wow, 25 F2 plants. How many F1s did you plant last season?

I'm growing the Bahamian goat for the first time this year, and I've only heard great things about it.
 
Very nice, I like the colors of those.
 
I'm on F2 with a Bahamian goat x Butch T yellow scorpion cross (D3 Goat) These are some of the F1's

I love bahamian goat. Makes a great powder and good on pizza. These were brutally hot, hoping for something a little less bitter and rape your face out of the f2. 
 
I like the color of your mustard pod but the pale one looks like it would taste better.

wait till you get a taste of the crisp clean flavor! Plenty hot too!
 
Thanks guys! 
 
Jubnat, to answer your question: I grew 2 x F1 plants last year and got F2 seeds from peppers from hand pollinated flowers. 
 
Very nice peppers, D3monic! Yep, the pale pink one has the better flavour of the two. 
 
Here's a couple of pics of the most prolific plant, very pale green immature peppers turning orangey-red. Great flavour, same as the others but hotter. This is only an 8 inch pot, to restrict the plant's size:
