hot-sauce Cape Fear Red Savina Habanero Sauce

Cap'n Bones put up a bottle of sauce for answering a trivia question. I decided that high score on my local bars megatouch machine just wasn't the payout I was looking for with all my accumulated useless facts. Having only paid attention to his other sales I figured I'd get a bottle of his least selling item and would have been perfectly happy with it. What i got was Cape Fear Red Savina Habanero Sauce. Despite my excitement, I waited a couple of days to open it. Just as i was finishing off some less than tasty pasta salad and had opened the fridge to reach for a hot sauce, I remembered the Cape Fear. I opened it and was hit full in the face by a delicious aroma. I didn't have to stick my nose in the bottle like I usually do. The flavor was just as pleasing. And best of all the heat was just the way I like it, arriving just after you question if it really is hot and only removed by another taste...followed by another. I am already making mental lists of what I'm going to try it on. :!:

Awwww....ya beat me to it. I've been busy lately studying (MCAT tomorrow morning)

I had the pleasure of trying this very sauce last night at dinner. I'll post my thoughts, you post yours, and we'll compare notes:

As you stated, great bouquet (not sure if wine terms apply to hot sauce, but what the heck). My wife brought me a barbeque pork sandwich last night for dinner with a side of fries. Unfortunately, they left off the barbeque sauce, so I put on some Sticky Fingers Hab. BBQ sauce, and finished it with Cape Fear Red Savina Habanero sauce. It was a good combination, but it was hard to get a good handle on the flavor/heat.
Anyway, I poured a bunch over my fries. WOW!!! For you pepper purists, that like the flavor of the pepper, you will like this sauce. It tastes almost as if you are biting into a habanero. Nice, crisp, and fresh. I looked at the ingredients, and noticed that there was some vinegar and tomato added as well, but you can't tell it by the flavor. What a wonderful sauce.
Next, the heat hit me. Yup. Red Savina. This is as hot a sauce as you are going to find without extract. More heat than Matouk's (any of them). Of course, I did drench my fries with the sauce (now about a quarter empty), but I'd be lying if I told you I didn't sweat a bit. This sauce has great heat. The pepperheads in here will enjoy this sauce, though I don't recommend it for the uninitiated. I can't recall the exact wording of the heat warning on the label, but it was clever and accurate.
I will try this sauce again. And again.

Kudos, Capt. Bones.

Let me know what you think, Darth.
 
Darthcarl....

I started thinking about it, and I hope you don't think I tried to hijack your thread. I apologize if that is the impression anyone gets. That was not my intention. I will think before I post in the future. :oops:

Oh yeah....and the multiple posts? Nothing happened when I hit submit. I hit it again. Sorry again.

posts get hijacked around here all the time, no worries. I haven't tried it on my fries yet...it's on the list. I know it's not propper pepper procedure but the big test for me is "can it make the 1.25 tostitos pizza taste good?" Cape Fear passed.
 
I had it tonight in a chicken kebab pita with humus. Mmmm.

Anything that allows the flavor to get through works for me. I don't eat fries often (trying to stay at a reasonable weight....ski season is rapidly approaching). You won't be disappointed. It's got a real kick, and great flavor.
