torchbearer saucesGarlic Reaper Sauce, 5 ounces - Carolina Reaper Peppers - All Natural, Vegan, Extract-Free, Made in USA and Featured on Hot Ones

I go through a lot of hot sauces, from mild to The Last Dab and Queen's Majesty, occasionally Da Bomb. This is by far my most-used bottle however. Tastes good on almost everything! Packaging and delivery has been good so far. No issues. Torchbearer's best sauce.

The title says it all! This sauce is fantastic. The heat is very nice, and the flavor is amazing with steak and chicken tacos.

WOW flavor!

Taste good, nice flavor without the overpowering burn.

Hot sure. Flavor? Ok. It will make you sick to your stomach though. After all the Reaper sauces I have tried, take it from me who loves spicy food. Stick with Ghost Pepper as the ceiling. Anything above that is just trying to impress others. Not worth the stomach ache after consumption nor the 10:30 AM rush to the toilet at work the next day:)

First, please let me say that I carefully read almost every single Amazon review of this particular sauce. I've witnessed the good, the bad...and certainly the ugly.I've long been on the hunt for a sauce that can do two things with unabashed aplomb. The sauce much balance the equal nuance of flavor and heat. That said, I'm quite sure that most of us seekers are used to sauces that just bring the darn fire and overpower our culinary palate. And, on the opposite side of things, we've enjoyed delightful flavor while being entirely underwhelmed by the heat.In my recent experience, TorchBearer Sauces' Garlic Reaper offering absolutely ticks all of my boxes. I can, easily, see this working magic on my eggs, my Cuban Sandwiches, my sous vide steaks, my marinated grilled chicken breasts, etc., etc.All that said, based upon my referencing the extensive research I did at the very beginning of this review, I'd like to offer the following. First, and it appears foremost, the seller I purchased from was Common Cents Distributors. (There appear to be adverse issues with folks purchasing from other sellers.) Per my purchase, the bottle arrived in perfect condition. Further, the color tone was spot-on for the normal TorchBearer Sauces' Garlic Reaper golden yellow with a touch of orange. Upon opening the bottle, my olfactory passages were simultaneously greeted to the pungent aroma of garlic and the delightful warning of heat ahead.Although I'd thoroughly enjoy just a bit more heat, this is a sauce I can see myself staying with for life. It appears to be the typical case of buyer beware with sellers. This is no fault of the buyers; I'm just happy to share a positive experience I've had to perhaps be of help to all.

I really enjoyed the level of spiciness with this one. It has a wonderful garlic flavor. Not for the faint of heart. Overwhelming flavor, but just right.

When I first tried it, I poured a big glob of it on my fingertips and put it all in my mouth. The room span for a good minute and I vowed to never try it again.After a few days, I tried it again--this time as it's meant to be used: with food. And boy was it delicious!FLAVOR: The flavor is distinct enough to actually taste all its components, yet it's mild enough so that it doesn't overpower the main dish. I've never eaten a Carolina Reaper so I can't say for sure how it tastes, but from the videos I've seen, a lot of the people who eat describe the reaper as "fruity." I can definitely taste the Reaper's fruity notes in this sauce. It's not citrus, but it is fruity... I don't know how else to describe it but it's very interesting! The reaper's fruitiness is one of the first things that hits you, then very quickly, the garlic umami and vinegar come with along with the heat. The garlic flavor is very nice and as I've mentioned before, it doesn't overpower anything... well maybe if you put too much.SPICINESS: In my opinion, this sauce is VERY spicy. People who aren't good with spice in the first place WILL have trouble with this. For spice lovers, its initial test may make you hesitant, but from my experience, it's nothing to avoid. Like all sauces, spiciness level can always be controlled by how much sauce you put on. That being said, this sauce's spiciness and flavor is so well rounded and potent enough that a little bit can go a long way. Additionally, I would describe its spiciness as "sharp." If a habanero sauce hits like a punch, this sauce hits like an electric shock to the palate. It's sharp, but it doesn't linger and last as long as a habanero or ghost would. Because of its short life on the palate, I really enjoy the spice and it makes getting used to it a lot easier!Hope this helps :)
