This may not be news to most of you, but I always like to confirm what others have said in the past. I just picked my first 7 pod brain strains that came from seeds provided by Pepperlover. (thank you very much) You all have said that these are much more intense than the Morugas. Well, I took both types that were being grown in exact same conditions to our Monday night pepper night for a taste test comparison, and everyone said the brains were way hotter.
The brain strain was very intensely hot as soon as it hit your mouth, and overall, was outright more hot. The Moruga started off slower. Sure it was not, but not as intense. It built up for a few minutes before it hit it's peak, but at that point, was still not as intense as the brain.
Thank you for making this great pepper! Just this morning, I made powder out of a few brains, and even with it dried out, the powder is also way more intense. At least 50% more, long lasting heat, even as a powder. Great stuff, you just have to use a very small amount. I think I like the taste better than the moruga as well.
