Finally got my hands on a bottle of this. Its super hot reputation isnt a surprise really. A very quick burn (doesnt take time to hit just BANG!) which gives little time to fully enjoy the taste. Its a nice taste , lots of habs maybe? Put a big ol dollop on a bagel and did slightly regret as it really does pack some burn. Nice enough sauce, not quite as tasty as some of Blairs bests but still an enjoyable buy!

Very hot on its own, not reccomened unless you can handle it (not a challange, lol). You can mix it into sauces and it adds a nice heat and a pretty tasty overall flavour as well. I have become hooked on putting this in beans and tinned spagetti (bbq sauce or a squeeze of lime go well alongside this too) on a baked potato with cheese, or on toast. Haven't tried it in fresh chilli yet, but it was a great addition to tinned chilli and I imagine would be great in a proper one.

In reference to the review of August 2008 I was one of the Guinea Pigs; the one who could take it. This stuff still has a good flavour like the flesh of a pepper. It hasn't got that subtle rancid/burnt after taste lurking which you can get off a some hot sauces. I keep a bottle on the van at work for lunches. Favorate combination is a pack of batchlours super noodles (this works best with the beef flavour) If you only have access to a kettle at lunch then a super sized coffiee mug, (the novelty pint sized ones are just right for this) is just right. Break the pack of noodles into 4-6 then open the pack empty the contents in the mug. pour the noodle flavouring on top and one small drop of Dave's sauce on top. Pour boiled water on top to about 2/3 the mug & leave then stir for about 3 mins till the noodles are just right. Then a small tin of tuna (fresh water or failing that brine is best, oil filled dosn't work very well) Drain the can & flake the tuna into the mug. the water content would heat the tuna pretty quickly. If you don't want all the water while you tuck in then use the lid off the tin of tuna and place it on top of the food (pint sized coffie mugs are just the right fit). Use a folk to hold the lid in place so you can drain the excess. A tasty way of using this sauce, handy if you havn't full kitchen facilities when you want to cook it up. Retaining the water rather than draining makes for a hotter experience, nice in cold weather. One bit of social advice, the tuna makes this stink, so if your eating this amoungst others in a confined area you may not be popular. Adding to baked beans is a fantastic way of using the sauce (if i can get to a microwave at lunch time the i some times add tuna in the same mug instead of noodles). Or spread spearingly on toast and grill cheese on top, or add to the water whaen cooking rice or pasta, or instead if you use pesto sauce add to the pesto using the handle part of a teaspoon so you can add just a little bit at a time until you have the right taste when on pasta.

Wow - a few drops into a tin of beans and you're well away. Great as an ingredient but deadly if you have it straight up.

This stuff is evil......really quite hot, but with a slightly artificial taste to it (due to the pepper extract?). Great for adding an extra bit of heat to stews and chillis though.
