Okay. I have been looking forward to trying this one (admittedly, with a little bit of trepidation, given the name). After studying Organic Chemistry all day (about 7 hours) I was going to cook my wife a killer meal of mango/chipotle chicken, fried plantains, and spanish rice. It is the rice that I like to use to try out sauces on, because it doesn't interfere much with the flavor.
Anyway, I knew this was an extract sauce, and I respect warning labels. At the same time, I knew that I had to put enough on to be able to taste the product. I put about a teaspoon on my first helping of rice. WOW!!! The heat hits you pretty much immediately. Then the flavor. It was subtle, so I had to have another helping to try to pin down the flavor. On this helping, I put about a half an oz. of this molten concoction.
After my first helping, I was used to the heat, so I was better able to describe the flavor. My first impression was that this is a wing sauce. It has that tomato/chile pepper taste. There is a hint of that flavor that extract adds to any extract sauce, but the creaminess the dairy product adds tends to smooth it out. Personally, I don't dislike the flavor of extract. It can be used to great effect, and it is here. I don't know why my first impression was wing sauce, but I calls them like I tastes them. I will use the remainder for just that purpose.
I like this sauce, and I think anyone who likes wings will too. A word of caution, though, this sauce is not for the faint of heart, pregnant women, small children, or those with a low threshold of pain tolerance. I bow to the DEFCON creator. I am still wiping the sweat off my brow. :shock:
What an experience.
