100% Pain Hot Sauce

What the bottle says...
100% Natural.
Rated 100%.
There are several levels of pain. The pain levels are marked with the % of pain you experience. The higher the % the more pain and less flavor. Although there are chileheads that will argue that the more the pain the better the flavor. We will let you decide. Taste the pain.

What we say...
Yes we know - we don't understand what the blurb on the back of the bottle is all about either, clearly the writer was on some kind of Habanero high at the time. However this is one seriously hot natural sauce. Packed with Habanero's which means this also has a great roasted pepper taste, which if you like it hot will go great in a steak sandwich or on a barbecued sausage.

Country of origin: USA

Ingredients: Habanero peppers, water, natural pepper flavouring, vinegar, spices

I don't with some of the comments about the flavour, personally I think it's one of the few 'super hot' sauces that doesn't have the slight bitter taste that you so often get with extract based sauces. This may be becasue it isn't quite as hot as some of Daves or Blairs stuff, but it its textures great with chucks of habanero (and even the odd seed!) and proper habanero chili taste. My only comment is it is a very strong flavour so perhaps eating by the teaspoon is not such a good idea, but I just add it to stuff like curries, chillies and soups and it really does the trick.

I completely agree with David Yelland's review. I only tried it once - I went through a phase of spreading chilli sauce in-between cheese-on-toast - the taste was not enjoyable and I felt sick afterwards. I find that most really hot sauces have little or no flavour (even Dragonsblood). A sauce like Acid Rain really hit the mark, heat and great flavour. Unfortunately, I found 100% Pain to be the opposite.

This is a great chilli sauce. Not super hot and with a real vinegarie taste, which makes it great poured over chip shop chips!!

I am seriously disappointed with this sauce. I was looking forward to trying it but when I did I regretted it. I can't really explain it (how do you describe a taste?), I know it is an all natural sauce but if I had tried it blindfolded I would have thought it was a cheap sauce filled with chemicals and artificial flavourings. It has a really strong, overwhelming taste of nothing I can describe, but it isn't nice. I had a stomach ache after trying it... I even went back a couple more times later on to re-test it but it was the same each time. It's not the heat that is the problem. I have Dave's and Blair's sauces here that I love. It just doesn't taste nice. It is also a shame because the heat in this IS good. If you can stand the taste and stomach ache the burn is great. I know it says that the higher the % the less the taste... That I could handle. No taste would be OK. It's just unfortunate that this sauce has lots of taste. THE WRONG KIND!

Tried this at the Brighton fiery food festival last year and although it is certainly hot (but by no means top draw) the flavour is at best average! Saying that, I think it is great value for money but if your a hardcore chillihead then stick to Blair's or special ed mad dog 357.
