Awesome.  That looks tasty!  A couple of questions for you.  What is the consistency of the pour?  How did you get it so red using Chocolate's?
 
Consistency is a bit thicker than I expected like Ketchup as for the color I got no clue was surprised myself, I thought it would have came out brown. 
 
Looks great. Is it a fermented sauce? Did you get the PH down so low with just the lime juice? Did you mix everything together and then bottle, or did you cook it first?
 
Looking good... Must taste good too.

I found that lime juice also makes the colors a bit lighter.
I put apple vinegar and a little cocoa powder to my choco. hab. sauce and it came out more brownish.
