7 TO me tho all peppers either taste like a bhut or like a yellow 7. And themoruga is int he bhut category..> I dont taste ANY sweet as in sugar in any superhots.
I thought that, too. Most superhots are pretty much the same, anyway, with small genetic pockets that differentiate them. I suspect that Scorpions and 7-Pots are the same, since I've seen Scorps that look like Red 7s and my Red 7-Pots this year had a bunch of pods that looked just like Scorps. Same island, identical flavor, 'nuff said.
Anyway, I've had what I suspect was a Yellow Brains, and I've also had the Yellow 7s, but never Yellow Morougas. They both tasted virtually identical, with the Yellow Brain having a slightly higher sharpness from more capsaicin, but both had a sunny flavor, as opposed to rich/musky (reds), earthy/fruity (browns), tangy/fruity (oranges), or fruity/florally (whites). So, I prefer the plain ol' Yellow 7, since it had a little more flavorfulness and not as much harsh fumes from the higher capsaicin.
