It's been there done that, but that doesnt stop making new sauces. Kind of like chipotle. It was the 'latest greatest thing' at one time, but there are 1000's of chipotle sauces.
Take it and run with it if it's something you like.
One of the top award winning sauces of the last couple years. Just cuz its award winning....maybe you can do better!

Black garlic is nice to give a fermented taste to hot sauce. So it's a little cheat if you know that "fermented" flavor I speak of and are not fermenting the sauce itself. So yes go for it. I would keep the sauce simple. Black garlic is complex and you will ruin it if you cover it up with smoke. I'd do fresh peppers, vinegar, BG, a little onion, black pepper, and salt. A savory beast of a sauce. Mayyyyyyybe tomato. That's it!
Okay a hint of lemon can work here.

thank you so much for the input ill let you know how it turns out and chili suggestions
Just keep in mind you want the BG to shine. You don't go and make a margarita with a $400 bottle of tequila. So make sure the BG shines, or else, just use roasted garlic if you want a bunch of other flavors.
