Received from by great friend Glen: Torchbearer Sauces - The Rapture.

As Glen notes, VERY fruity. Has oranges and carrots.

Instant heat, very entertaining. Great taste. Scorched nicely all the way down, which is appreciated. Tongue feels a bit temperature burned, not hot sauce burned. No sinus flames. Good afterburn.

Not overly heavy on the vinegar. No salt that I can see. I like this. A lot. This is a thick sauce. Think dippin'. Chunky in that the chunks are very small.

Not a chili sauce or a sauce to be added to something, cept maybe vegetable soup. Problem is you'd wanna use a lot of the bottle in the soup. Would be VERY good on chicken wings, fish chunks or anything where you'd like some fruit bouquet with your heat. Expect it would make some flat out AWESOME coon jerky.

Hrm. Far from the hottest I've ever had, but absolutely not for a novice. It will burn the belly in a novice. Yes it will. Mature pepperheads will like it, as mentioned above, as a change of flavor but not for the heat.

I like it. Finding it hard to criticize except in the heat department AND at 5 ounces (typical hot sauce size), small for pepperheads. I'd prefer to see this in Salsa sized jars which is where it belongs. A video does show much larger bottles. But hey, this was a gift and I treasure it and I will immensely enjoy it.

Not the best sauce out there, for sure. But well and away so far from the worst that any decent pepperhead would be delighted to have this in the case. Standard hot sauce bottle.

Trinidad Scorpion peppers, Ghost Peppers, Hanaberos. Does not given country of origin on the label for the peppers.

4.5 five gasps for flavor.
3 gasps for heat.
2.5 gasps for the label artwork.

  1. Sounds good! I had a bottle of sauce called "Ass Blaster" that I found at a local market here in North East Ohio but have yet to find anymore of said sauce. I did however find a link http://www.hotsauce.com/Ass-Blaster-Collector-s-Hot-Sauce-p/1483.htm

    Excellent Sauce on any type of food or addition to a big bowl of Chili
