Hot? No. Getting into a black car in Southern California in the middle of summer is hot. A Starbucks Venti Latte is hot. A steam sauna is hot.

This is a hospital trip short of simultaneously gargling with lye while grilling your lips on a cast-iron Weber barbeque. A full twenty minutes after I had taken less than 1/4" of a pretzel stick coated in this satanic baby batter, my tongue was searing with a rabid and vicious intensity. The cup of hot drip coffee in my hand? Tried to put out the burn with it. Couldn't even FEEL the coffee touch my tongue.

A light smoky flavor? Are you kidding me? I couldn't taste anything for over an hour. If the sauce has any measurable flavor it is instantly destroyed by the brain-melting heat. There is no reason to ever buy this. Ever. What could you possibly do with it? Put a drop in a five-gallon pot of chili? Four pounds of taco meat? Seriously.

I could imagine doctors prescribing this as the herbal equivalent of Plan B. It would kill any disease, parasite, or unwanted fetus it came in contact with.

But yeah, it was pretty good.

This Hot sauce has a sweet, Barbecue taste to it. The heat is awesome, definetly a kick in the pants! However, this isn't the hottest hot sauce in the world. I think it goes great on many things, and is in my opinion definetly something to add to your hot sauce collection. I will definetly buy this again when I've gone through it.

I would say the flavor is at first reminiscent of steak sauce..that's what it reminded me of anyway. So the flavor of this sauce could be better. But the heat from the Jolokia peppers really shines through. Mad Dog 357 Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce honestly brings the heat and the pain so i would recommend it be used sparingly. The heat from just a taste of this sauce actually builds up and becomes hotter than the initial burn so prepare for it, but if you like it hot like me then i certainly recommend buying a bottle.

I love this sauce! I have quite a collection of hot sauces including Blair's After Death, Dave's Insanity, and Satan's Blood. This sauce is by far my favorite for every-day use. It has excellent flavor and plenty of heat. Blair's After Death is a close second, but it is not as hot and sometimes adds too much flavor for the same amount of heat. This sauce is hot enough to really brighten up a dish without adding overwhelming flavor, but the flavor that it does add is very yummy, subtle, and complex. It is very economical since a few drops tends to be enough for a burrito (even for a 'pepper head'). If you think that Tabasco just tastes like flavored vinegar, you enjoy food that 'bites back' and causes some pain, and you love complex and subtle flavors and aromas, then you should definitely try this sauce.

I got addicted to heat several years ago and started my extreme heat loving with Mad Dog 357 (350,000 scoville units). That sauce was super hot! Then went to the silver edition (750,000 scoville units). Woah! This ghost pepper sauce is not near as hot as those unless you add a little more. You can get the same heat from this non-extract as you can the extract! It is a really awesome hot sauce! It is much more practical in every day spicing up of foods since it doesn't have to be cut with something.

This is a fantastic hot sauce!

This sauce really does pack a punch. I always considered myself to have a high heat tolerance, but this stuff really puts it to the test! The primary culprit is obviously the Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Pepper), but Ashley Foods added some Habanero and Peri Peri peppers for good measure.

This also contains evaporated cane juice which adds a sweetness that is almost fruity or reminiscent of BBQ sauce. Combine all this with the garlic, vinegar, and other spices and you have an exceptional combination that briefly offers you a wonderful taste, and then it steals your soul with a raging inferno of hellfire.

If you're looking for something really hot that actually has good flavor as well, then this is the best bet for your money. You could always go with something like pure capsaicin, but you'd be missing out on good flavor.

The price might seem steep for a 5 fl ounces, but you likely won't be going through this bottle as quickly as you would some tabasco sauce.

I really enjoy this sauce. It has a great heat that builds after the initial burn. A bit expensive but I think it's worth it. It has a BBQ sauce taste to it, so I feel that it really goes well with anything you would use BBQ sauce on.

I love the bottle design and everything, i was looking for a really hot sauce but when i tried it, it wasn't that hot as i expected it to be. I compared it to Dave's ghost pepper hot sauce and so far that's been the hottest for me. Mad Dog 357 has like a little BBQ flavor to me but still awesome product!

My friend got me two bottles of this for Christmas, from my wishlist. I honestly expected this to possibly be too hot for even myself to do much more than use a couple of drops to heat up a pot of chili. As it turns out, I do not find this that insanely hot -- not nearly as hot as the reviews make it sound. Am I that hardcore?

This is a very delicious hot sauce with a sweet almost bbq like flavor. It's amazing on burgers, chicken, mixed with ketcup or bbq sauce, mixed with taco/burrito seasoning to spice it up a bit or added to a pot of chili. Generally, I would not recommend this sauce with rice, as it has a fairly strong and sweet flavor, but it is very good on meat in general.

I already have used most of one bottle, and I will definitely be keeping this in stock.

I purchased this and Dave's Ultimate Insanity Hot Sauce Hottest Sauce in the Universeat the same time. I love hot sauce, and this had better flavor than Dave's
The makers wanted the consumer to use as much as possible in one sitting and so the bottles were designed with a open neck slightly smaller than a catchup bottle and used xanthan gum apparently to thicken the product, making it pour out in globs, like steak sauce.
Considering the cost, flavor, and bottle engineering, I might recommend this sauce...jim
