Container/Labeling: Nice labeling, professional. The picture on this new label gives the true picture of the product... dangerously hot! (picture below)
Heat Level: Off the charts! Though i built a tolerance to it in no time.
Aroma: Oh salsa, why do you tantalize me with your aroma? Initial waft of the open jar yields a smokey bhut jolokia aroma, yet somewhat sweet or fruity smell also. This smell is a misnomer, it is much hotter than it smells.
Color: Red/Garnet color, dark and mysterious! Kinda threatening, but i guess that's why they call it The Curse!
Consistency: Compared to store-bought salsas, it is definitely not chunky. Which is a good thing because who wants to bother with chewing a lot when your mouth is on fire?
Taste:
- Initial: the first wave is a smoky flavor followed by the Bhut Jolokias vicious kick!
- 5 Minutes: after five minutes this product easily lives by it's name, im coughing and there are some tears coming!
- 10 Minutes: There is still a burn on my tounge, though less than before, now it is painfully in my throat, just sitting there!
- 20 Minutes: I licked my lips, now they burn! Besides that, the heat has settled in my stomach and it seems like it is going to stay there for some time now!
Conclusion Pros: Great Salsa for the heat and smoky flavor, i would suggest it to anyone! No doubt 1million Scoville units and any chile-head would be given a run for their money with this hot stuff! Also good for people who have seasonal allergies or constipation or both. I promise you that you wont have either after trying this!
Conclusion Cons: As another reviewer said, there isn't much of a flavor besides the Bhut Jolokia but that's expected of this hot stuff. If he wanted flavor/wimpy salsa he should have purchased a mild salsa!
