Mike: Heartbreaking Dawns Classic Gold Hot Sauce has a great flavor, that is if you like a sweet hot sauce. This hot sauce tastes very versatile as it would go well with most meats. This is not the type of hot sauce you would think of first for chips, but you may enjoy the sauce on chips too. The hot sauce has a little bit of heat, I am rating this sauce a 4 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Josh: I really liked the taste of this hot sauce and could definitely see eating this hot sauce on pork. I think pork is the perfect fit for this hot sauce. I thought this hot sauce had a decent amount of heat and I am rating this sauce a 5 out of 10 on the heat scale.

These sauce samples were sent to us from Golden Toad Hot Sauces.  They are coming out with a new sauce and narrowed the recipe down to these two versions.  They asked us for our opinion on the sauces. They decided on their final recipe and launched their new hot sauce containing the Naga Jolokia Pepper and Habanero Peppers.  The new sauce is under Xtinction Sauces.  You can email me at hotsauceguru@gmail.com to get your own bottle of this sauce now!

Mike:  I definitely enjoyed the hotter version of the hot sauce better.   I was leaning towards that sauce on the initial trial and afterwards I sampled both sauces on various foods including eggs every morning until the samples were gone.   This hot sauce has a slightly similar tasted to some Habanero hot sauces I have tried.  This hot sauce has a great flavor and a good amount of heat!  I am looking forward to sampling the final product, I know it will be awesome.  I am rating this sauce a 7 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Josh:  I liked the second hot sauce better than the first.  This hot sauce is very spicy, but it still has a good flavor.  Although I liked the flavor of this hot sauce, it is a little too spicy for me to eat on a regular basis.  I am rating this hot sauce an 8 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Mike:  I enjoyed the flavor of Papa Jack’s Buffalo Hot Sauce.  The sauce has noticeable garlic flavor added to a buffalo base with a little more heat and some sweetness.  The hot sauce is reddish orange with a moderately thick texture.  The sauce did have noticeable kick, although it did not linger at all.  I am rating this sauce a 4 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Josh:  Papa Jack’s Buffalo Hot Sauce has a good flavor with garlic hints.  I thought the sauce had some heat too it, but it is not overpowering.  I am rating this hot sauce a 4 out of 10 on the heat scale.

A few of Josh’s friends wanted to try a habanero pepper with us after watching the videos.  They all thought the habanero pepper would be a piece of cake to eat, boy were they wrong!  One of the guys lost control of his salivary glands and they ran like an open spigot for about two minutes!   Josh totally woosed out!  He took one small bite of the habanero pepper and then hid the rest of his and refused to eat it. 

 The habanero pepper I had was quite spicy, it caused me to tear up some and sweat.   About a half hour after eating the habanero pepper, my stomach was not happy for a while.  This was some good clean fun back in our home town area! I am always up for eating spicy foods with new victims!

Mike:  Spittin Fire Hot Sauce from Sizzlin Sauces has an orangish color and a little texture to the sauce.  This hot sauce has some small chunks in the sauce.  Spittin Fire Hot Sauce is one of Sizzlin Sauces’ regular hot sauces.  They also have another version of this sauce that is supposed to be hotter and has XXX on the label.  This hot sauce had more heat than I had expected so I am looking forward to sampling the XXX.  This sauce also had a very good flavor and would go very well with chips, chicken, and eggs.  The habanero pepper flavor is very subtle in this hot sauce and the garlic is much more noticeable.  I am rating this sauce a 5 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Josh:  Spittin Fire Hot Sauce contained more heat than what I had expected.  I liked the flavor of this habanero hot sauce, but the heat was definitely surprising.  I think this hot sauce would go great on chicken or any type of meat.  Sizzlin Sauces has many other sauces including some spicier ones that we will be sampling in the near future, stay tuned!  I am rating this hot sauce a 6 out of 10 on the heat scale.
