Mystery pepper

I was looking at a forum that usually talks about cycads and someone had a hot pepper that they were trying to identify. He said it was super hot, but I don't know of any of the real super hots that look like this one. This may be common to some of you, but it doesn't look familiar to me. Hopefully this will come up, here is the address to that question:

C. annuum "Goats Weed". Haven't grown it myself (yet) but apparently considered one of the hotter of the C. annuum species.

yeah Goats Weed. The guy answering on the other forum was right too as they also go by Black Cobra.
They go from green to black to red. I have some growing. The black is hot but also a bit bitter. When they are red it is much better.
 
wow, you guys are efficient... well heres another post saying goats weed, i have some growing and it stands out like a sore thumb as an C. Annum with some pubescens fuzz. have yet to taste mine though... to be honest im a little nervous.
