I was looking through my sauces on deck to find something more along the lines of sweet hot. This one, with pineapple listed, likely as a sugar source, seemed a good bet. What I did not realize was that it also is a sauce I would consider more a super hot, with both Moruga Scorpions and Jolokias playing heavily into the mix. The text of this one lists it as "limitless" in application, hence the name, and I'm not sure I would argue that. It worked well on nearly everything I tried it on, though it needed to be used sparingly or would otherwise pretty handily overpower the flavor of what I was using it on. It also mentions this is a hotter version of a different sauce they make, but I was not able to get much of a read on what that flavor might be, as the Scorpions are very prominent here, both in terms of heat and flavor. I may try to track down that other sauce, though, as this seems like a pretty well-crafted sauce, even if it does not strike me as simply a hotter version of something else.

The heat is pretty immediate and comes roaring in, somewhat obliterating whatever other flavors might be there. The predominant flavor profile here is the Scorpions, so it is basically a sweeter aspect to an otherwise very hot pepper. If you don't like the flavoring of Scorpion peppers, you may struggle with this sauce somewhat. It does not have a restrictor cap, which could lead to oversaucing, which you probably really do not want to do with this one, but the sauce is thick enough, that kind of cap would cause issues. Have a care, though, as the heat can build and get fairly intense for a non-extract sauce. In fact, I would also go so far as to say this one is better left solely to the chileheads.

Bottom line: Heat here is pretty stepped up, so this is best to be used solely by chileheads. It can quickly overtake flavors of food, with the dominant flavor here of Scorpion peppers. While I don't love everything about it, it is also our first contender for Sauce Of The Year for 2020.
