Satan's Ring Extreme Hot Sauce

Love this sauce, I eat raw scotch bonnets so can handle heat. Let me tell you, I wasn’t disappointed!

The short review; Buy a bottle, you will not regret it.

The longer review; I was excited to get this delivery after wondering if I should place the order. How many times have you picked up a bottle of hot sauce, read the claims, looked at how many chillies are represented on the heat scale, made the purchase and been completely disappointed with the results? Yup, all the time (apart from one but we'll get to that). I like hot food; a lot of people do but I also like flavour and find that some sauces just go for the jugular without thought of what it tastes like. The premise that it will also burn-on-exit seems to be the only criteria for many attempts at hot sauce.
This sauce actually tastes good, it has flavour and oh yes, it’s hot. It’s not mind-meltingly hot and will cripple you, but it will certainly assault your tongue and leave you in no doubt that that head sweat is accompanied by endorphins rushing around to provide a coping mechanism.
I was keen to test alongside a few favourites to see where it might slot into the scale of heat and flavour and I was happily surprised. I took a tiny amount of each sauce and placed in on one side of the tongue and then the other side. I waited a while and then repeated with the other sauces. Don’t laugh at this but I actually like the Encona C-Reaper sauce, it’s akin to a ketchup and a known staple. I also tested the Satans Ring against a family favourite Mr Naga and some Psycho Serum. It’s a pity I couldn’t test against another favourite, Berties Scorpion sauce but I’d long since run out and it’s hard to get in the UK.

The results;
Hottest without doubt (unsurprisingly) was the Psycho Serum, followed by the Satans Ring, Mr Naga and the Encona C-Reaper.
The gap between Satans Ring and Mr Naga is staggering. It could be argued that yes, Mr Naga is just a pickle but it does have the ability to have an accumulative effect. Out front by a long shot was the Psycho Serum but that didn’t surprise me. I’ve been using this, very sparingly for a good while and believe that it was invented as some form of hallucinogen or torture. It is not pleasant, in fact its completely violent, an enema for all orifices and you cannot taste it. However, Satans Ring IS hot… wow it’s hot, but…. It tastes SO good. I can see this being a firm favourite for me at least. An awesome product and puts practically every other manufacturers claim of being a hot-sauce to complete shame.
