Next years grow list

Hi guys,
I've been planning ahead and narrowed my list down to 7 varieties for next year, all Chinenses.
Could anyone recommend a really good hot and tasty chinense to make an 8th variety?
So far I have:
Carolina Reaper
7 pot Brainstrain
Bhut Jolokia
TS CARDI
Fatalli
Black Congo
Scotch Bonnet (2 varieties from my own and store bought seeds from Hippyseed)
 
Check out the datil pepper!
 
-edit- read a little bit and apparently the datil and the fatali are very similar so I dont know if it would be worth it for you to grow them. I've never tried a fatali(plan on it soon!) so I can't say how similar they are.
 
I'm a fan of the Bhut. I would recommend one of the other colors. If you like citrus, try yellow. Orange is fruity, but my favorite is the chocolate Bhut. Sweet, smokey, earthy.
 
I'm growing the Naga this year, just waiting on the pods ripening!
A chocolate super is something I've not even thought about, good shout! How's the Douglah for taste?
 
I don't care for the douglah much. All the ones I've grown have had a very bitter harsh taste and aftertaste, almost chemical. Not so bad if used in cooking but still don't prefer it. Some of my favorite brown/chocs are the chocolate scorpion and the brown moruga scorpion, if eaten by themselves the chocolate scorps do have a bit of a bitter taste but nothing like the douglah. The brown moruga i don't find bitter at all and is a bit sweet and not really floral at all like some scorps. I really love using the brown moruga in making sauces, one of my favorites for sure. I think the taste of both is great especially in making sauces or powders. Both are extremely hot as well with great endorphin rush
 
The Douglah is either loved or hated...no middle ground. It is pretty harsh from my experience with an awesome burn. There are better brown superhots out there for flavor. The Chocolate Fatalii and Black Naga work well for me as does the Brown Bhut.
