"Tread carefully as this adventure isn’t for the faint of heart... The pineapple’s sweetness, coconut’s creaminess, the nutty depth of peanuts and a red curry’s warmth lure you in until you regret your decision. The extreme heat of Scorpion, Ghost, Habanero and Thai chilies slap your mouth with spice but the delicious flavor keeps you coming back for more."

"We swapped out habaneros for fiery scotch bonnets, then added black garlic, rice vinegar, and white pepper for a complex, sultry flavor. Brown sugar and molasses round it out with a deep, rich sweetness that pairs perfectly with the spice."

This Kimchi Ghost sauce blends Red Ghost heat (7/10) with the mellow depth of American Wheat beer and Hallertau Hersbrucker hops. Medium salt, savory notes, and garlic lead the profile, with low vinegar and no sweetness or smoke. Bright, bold ghost pepper with a kimchi-inspired edge.

"From the ethereal realm, I watched as the essence of miso and fiery spirit of fresno and ghost peppers intertwined, creating a sauce that transcended mortal realms. It’s flavors, like echoes from another world, whispered secrets of savory delight and spectral heat. Though I drifted among the shadows, I could taste the celestial symphony crafted by a higher power, an otherworldly concoction that beckoned even the departed to linger in it’s haunting allure."

HEAT LEVEL 6/10
