Last year I took Carolina Reaper seeds from a number of long-tailed Reaper pods. I grew them out this year and one plant had Chocolate pods, but with no tails. It is obviously a cross, not a Chocolate Carolina Reaper. Still, that`s interesting, at least to me!
The aroma was clearly from a chocolate pod, such as the 7-pot douglah. What I talk about in this video is the Douglah, but, in retrospect, the Brown 7-pot and Brown Moruga share similar aroma and flavour notes. There is some sweetness and slight fruitiness as well, but the chocolate pod-type notes dominate. They are typically slight leather, tobacco and smoky, earthy aromas. The Reaper does make a slight appearance, but it is very subdued.
The initial flavour was surprisingly sweet, more so than 99% of chocolate superhots I`ve had. Then some bitterness arrived and stayed around for a minute or so, but it was tempered by the sweetness in a nice way. The flavours then became typical of a chocolate superhot, very 7-pot douglah-like. However, the sweetness hung around to temper those notes, too. A set of floral notes also were apparent. In very many ways, this was a good combination of Carolina Reaper flavours and Chocolate Superhot flavours.
The heat came on very slowly indeed, but really ramped up to extreme levels. However, while the heat profile was very, very hot, there wasn`t much in the way of pain or aggression. The only Chocolate pepper I`ve had like that before was the Brown Moruga. The sweetness also reminds my of the Brown Moruga, as does the thickness of the pepper walls. There was also the Reaper-style burn, where it shows up in the throat and slowly moves down the throat until it`s almost behind the Adam`s Apple. The Reaper is the only pepper that has ever done that to me.
This is a very interesting pepper, to me. It is going to be a lot of fun to grow out the F2 generation next year!
