ALICE COOPER'S COOPERSTOWN
|
HOUSE OF FIRE HOG RUB from COOPERSTOWN.. We went to Cooperstown in Arizona to have dinner and my wife tried their Hog Rub and said "WOW, you have to put this on Tasting The heat". After trying it, I agreed that it was amazing! What an awesome rub! The sweetness comes from brown sugar, turbinado and white sugar but you also get garlic, onion salt and celery seed with a little bite from the Chile powder and Italian seasoning. We used this on our fries and ribs and we both loved the flavor it added to our meal. When we got home we rubbed it on chicken and grilled it. It made an amazing crust of flavor on the chicken from the caramelized sugars. You will love the sweet and spicy flavor it gives your favorite foods and create new ones!

HELLA HOT HOT SAUCE
|
TRIPLE THREAT from HELLA HOT HOT SAUCE.. This hot sauce is in collaboration with Steve Molitz from the band Particle.
Every time I get a new hot sauce from Hella Hot Hot Sauce, I look forward to the unique and different ingredients that Kyle Colson uses. Well, once again, he didn’t disappoint. With grapefruit, carrot, habanero, mint, vinegar, lemon and orange juices, chipotle and curry powders, cilantro, maple syrup, juniper berry, hibiscus flower, salt, herbs and spices, you get a nice mix of flavor. Every one of the ingredients has a place in this sauce. Reading the label I tried to imagine just what this sauce will taste like, and there was no way I could. It explodes with a unusual bouquet of flavor from tart to citrus to floral to herb and then right at the very end, you get a slight airy mint taste with the grapefruit. As crazy as all this sounds, the more I used it, the more I wanted. I loved the flavor it added to grilled burgers, fish and on chicken. If you have never tried any of the hot sauces from Hella Hot Hot Sauce, you really don’t know what your missing. Every sauce has a different taste from any other hot sauce you will try. Good stuff!

DOYLE WOLFGANG VON FRANKENSTEIN
|
MADE IN HELL from DOYLE WOLFGANG VON FRANKENSTEIN.. From the legendary Misfits & DOYLE, guitarist Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein, comes a hot sauce that explodes with Italian flavor. At first taste it was strong and powerful, but after using it in my spaghetti sauce, that's where the true genius of this sauce came to life. This is a very thick and rich hot sauce and just like all the Halloween Hot Sauces, there's nothing wimpy about it at all! The basil, oregano and black pepper stand out, followed by the cayenne, garlic and vinegar. The way all the flavors mixed with the tomato sauce was amazing and was just what my spaghetti needed to really bring it to life. This hot sauce would be great on pizza, chicken Parmesan, omelettes or any dish that you would like to add a little heat and a lot of Italian spice and flavor. A big thank you goes out to Victor Ives from Halloween Hot Sauce and Doyle for creating this delicious sauce. Victor told me that the idea and inspiration came from Doyle himself.
You can see my interview with Victor on the Tasting The Heat YouTube channel where he talks about meeting and talking to Doyle for the first time. (click here) TASTE.. 9 out of 10 HEAT.. 4 out of 10 www.halloweenhotsauce.com |

HELLA HOT HOT SAUCE
|
PSYCOTIC PINEAPPLE from HELLA HOT HOT SAUCE.. John Seabury well known artiest and founder of the band Psycotic Pineapple has joined up with Hella Hot Hot Sauce to create a fantastic pineapple hot sauce that has a twist of flavors. I found this to have a refreshing, light and fun taste. The mixture of pineapple, coconut water, leek, garlic, lemon twist, sea salt, herbs and spices are combined in such a great way to bring a very refreshing flavor. The addition of a small amount of vinegar, rounds out the flavor profile to make this a well received sauce that can be use on almost every type of food. You will find this to have a medium heat from the great tasting serrano pepper, and have a slight sweetness from the pineapple that works just right. I used this on top of cottage cheese and it rocked! This also made some killer sticky sweet hot wings and was great on a burger. I plan on trying it on some pulled pork, chicken and grilled vegetables. This is a must for the fruit style hot sauce lover. Fantastic!

With my mouth burning from the heat of this sauce, I most definitely feel like I could breath fire! But I kept going back for more because of the fantastic flavor. This sauce has the flavors of habanero, cayenne, Thai chili, serrano and Trinidad scorpion peppers that are blended just right to add the hot peppers favor and heat. Also added are the kumquat, tomato, citrus juice, vinegar, garlic and Hella Hot's herbs and spices. The mixture of the citrus and a slight taste of vinegar adds a bright crispness to the taste that hit's you right up front, then rolls to the high heat of the peppers with a bit of tomato and garlic that will leave you flaming hot!

SWORD SWALLOWER from HELLA HOT HOT SAUCES.. Straight out of the Freak Show comes a celebrity sauce inspired by the sword swallower herself. It will hit you in the back of the throat and you'll feel the burn all the way down. The combination of ingredients works so well together to bring you a completely different type of jalapeno hot sauce. With the addition of apple and citrus juice, the flavor takes a turn when the ginger is added along with the onion, garlic, herbs and spices. It also comes with the traditional earthiness that all Hella Hot Hot Sauce's have. The heat continues with the sting and flavor of the serrano and ghost pepper powder. This sauce was awesome on pizza and added into hamburger before cooking it on the grill. I'm sure you will find many different ways to use this great tasting hot sauce.

BOOBZILLA from HELLA HOT HOT SAUCE.. With a crushing frontal attack of both heat and flavor, you will definitely love the flavors of avocado, tomatillo, apple, lime juice and garlic. The addition of the rice wine (Sake) and wasabi gives this sauce a slight take your breath away feeling. The flavor of roasting the serrano and habanero gives it a full pepper taste with a hint of smokiness. The avocado not only adds a great flavor but a nice smoothness consistency. Boobzilla really fills your mouth with heat and flavor. You will love this earthy sauce on any type of food. I loved using it as a dipping sauce for hot wings because of the explosive flavor.

BLOCKHEAD from HELLA HOT HOT SAUCES.. To start with, the aroma of this sauce is amazing! The first flavors that hit you is the combination of strawberry and a little ginger, then you get the greenness of the brussel sprouts, kelp and shallots. It is a strange combination for sure with beets, lemon juice, vinegar, mint, brown sugar, garlic, chipotle powder, herbs and spices, but this is a full ride of flavors that will hit you in the face like a hammer. I'm lovin this on tacos and burritos, and even though this is a little lower in heat, it definitely has a burn that lingers.

GARLIC DEATH GRIP from HELLA HOT HOT SAUCE.. Here's a collaboration from Hella Hot Hot Sauce and Techno Destructo. He calls himself The Myth, The Man, The Machine, OG Scumdog of the Universe, half man, half machine. This sauce is just like Techno himself, bigger than life. Over the top garlic flavor with a hint of onion, leek, and green onion. There is just a bit of sweetness and flavoring from the apple. There is also a strong overtone of earthiness from the added herbs and spices. The more I used this sauce the more I liked it. The blend of all the spices, heat and flavor from the habanero, jalapeno and chipotle powder, adds just the right mixture to make this a garlic lovers dream sauce. This sauce is awesome on eggs, red meat on the grill or even used as a glaze on poultry, fish and pizza for sure! If you love garlic, I'm sure you will go crazy for this sauce.

GHOUL
|
BRAIN JERK from HELLA HOT HOT SAUCE.. Kyle Colson from Hella Hot has joined up with the band GHOUL to make a hard hitting hot sauce with long lasting heat that's just like the music they play. This sauce has a twisted taste to match the bands look and style. There's a lot of heat in this one so be careful. Its a take of a Peri Peri sauce with the flavor of orange juice based with shallot, the creaminess of the coconut oil, along with the flavors of all the hot peppers and chilies. You'll also get the flavor of the lemon right at the end, if the heat doesn't distract your taste buds. This is not a shy sauce by any means and neither is Ghoul! Kyle is wearing the bands trademark mask on the label and the inspiration of the name comes from one of the bands songs. This would be an awesome way to kick start your day on your morning eggs and bacon! The unique flavor of this sauce would make a great marinade for all of your grilling.

WHITE LIGHTNING from GAS MONKEY.. We went to the Gas Monkey Bar and Grill in Dallas to try their BBQ sauce. But to my surprise I found on their table a pepper sauce that I fell in love with. This sauce is a vinegar based sauce with hot peppers and onion juice. I use this awesome sauce on my fries and I could not have been happier. Anyone could enjoy this great tasting sauce if used sparingly because the more you use, the hotter it gets. I used a lot because of the flavor enhancing taste. If you love the flavor of vinegar as I do, you will surly love this sauce.
