Black Mamba Hot Sauce

The Black Mamba is the most deadly snake in the world.

New from CaJohn – Their hottest sauce yet! Made with Chocolate Habaneros, Vinegar and Capsaicin ~ This Black Mamba has a vicious bite that burns.

I first saw the ad for Black Mamba in Chile Pepper Magazine last week and we recieved our first shipment a few days later. The bottle and basic ingredients are the same as the Collector’s CaJohns from the 2005 Fiery Food Show, but Black Mamba contains Chocolate Habaneros. After reading the ingredients on the bottle of Black Mamba, I had to do a gut check to see if I could handle it. After last weekend, I’ve been a tenderfoot towards any food and ingesting a sauce that contains capsaicin and promises to be CaJohns Hottest Sauce yet, believe it or not, was not at the top of my list. But after consuming half a monster steak, I felt confident I could handle it and forged on.

Using a toothpick, I applied the pungent sauce to my tongue. Toothpick sized drop mind you and holy crap did that light me up! Within a minute my eyes were watering and my nose was running and I’ll be damned if I could taste anything but the heat for at least another 10 minutes. But once the burn started to ease up, I started to taste things again. Minus the capsaicin, this sauce is quite enjoyable. Not recommended for beginners. Hot sauce lovers, proceed with caution ~ You may end up with your head in a freezer.

    What a great way to ruin the delicate taste of a great steak ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Yeah I dunno, that steak didn’t sound good or delicate. What with all that crud on it sitting in cheese and bread. That’s an open faced steak sandwich, not the Ultimate Steak.

    Just picked up a bottle at our state fair after doing the ol’ toothpick test and I was lit up for a good 20-30 minutes or so. It’s no wonder the stand next to it sells cold water. After a good dozen ice cubes and many laughs from those witnessing my enjoyable pain. I knew this was the good stuff. It has a great flavor beneath the heat that I can’t wait to apply to some chili and wings (in moderation of course).

    This hot sauce is delicious, but only at a few drops at a time. In the middle of eating, if I put too much in my food I have to get up, walk around and come back! I love it. I called the CaJohns but they say they don’t know what this Scoville rating is yet.

    Some burn in your stomach, but this one makes your face go on fire. I like how it does not bother my stomach to eat it, like Mad Dog 357 does.

    Hot as Hell… Did the toothpick test and the stuff damn near blew my head off. Used it in a pot of chilli (2-3 drops) and it blew mine and my families’ heads off. My brother and I liked the burn, but as for the rest of my family, I’m not quite sure. Insanely hot… yet a great flavor.

    Try half of a bottle in two pounds of jerky. Really potent stuff. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I tried a whole finger dipped in the stuff! What a mistake, hot, yet very enjoyable. Tastes great in chili by the way.

    Yeah so my friends put some of this stuff on my pizza when I wasn’t looking. I took a bite and my head almost blew off. It was instant hot and the burn lasts for about 15 min. I am not a hot-sauce beginner and I was totaly shocked. Nothing and I mean NOTHING takes the burn away.

    Great for parties.

    My roomie tried to poison me with this crap, and while hot as heck the flavor was what I imagine Skunk ass to taste like. Again this was very hot and very very rancid tasting. If your looking for a way to ruin good food this is a rather expensive way, but will suffice. If your looking for a flavorful food additive i suggest franks.

    Black Mamba hot sauce is the hottest sauce I tried in my life. I am addict
    to this kind of stuff and believe it or not with this sauce you are just one-
    step away of death! Anyhow I recommend this sauce to all lovers this kind
    of condiment. If you really like hot sauce, Black Mamba will be your favo
    rite. If you are a man, Black Mamba is the challenger you have defeat.

    Tomorrow I will go downtown and buy myself a bottle of Black Mamba for $20. I think it will be a great investment, as I won’t have to hope the supermarket has Scotch Bonnets in stock, use up time tryin to ripen some of them, or even worry about mold. This beastly sauce will last me a while, and is definitely more potent than any pepper that I could ever buy in a super market. I can’t wait till I try it!!
