Seen quite a few of these flask bottles around and wasn't super-in-love with the labeling of three guys apparently screaming due to the ferocity of the sauce blazing out there, so passed it by for years. I forget how long ago now, but I saw it and figured I'd finally give it a shot, being in need of a Louisiana style sauce and all, a condition in which I seemingly perpetually find myself...Anyway, this is another that elects to undermine the beauty in simplicity that is a Louisiana style sauce with lots of stray elements. Does it need onion powder and tomato paste (??!!!) and garlic powder and cayenne powder with the cayenne peppers and celery salt, of all things? Not if you're trying to make an actual good Louisiana-style sauce, it doesn't. This also contains the wrong vinegar.
Because of all this "complexity", this sauce is a mess, without an identity and meandering all over the place. The flavors contrast and fight each other, rather than complement, even with intense agitation and this shifts focus and detracts from the flavor of the food, which its somewhat jarring taste also tends to impose that same confusion. There is little to no heat to this, which makes it mostly, if not nearly entirely, pointless.
Bottom line: With the ludicrous title of the sauce, one expects something intense, with high piquancy, but this is neither of those things and is not even particularly interesting. Can (and should) be avoided.
Breakdown:
Heat level: 0
