Bravado Spice Black Garlic Carolina Reaper Hot Sauce | Gourmet Sauce for Wings & Ramen | Featured on Hot Ones Season 6

I have been buying this sauce repeatedly since 2018, and it is the only hot sauce that I use both as a topping and as an ingredient. It has flavor& heat — it is not a vinegar heavy Texas Pete or watery mild chili tasting Cholula - the black ginger seems to add umami to the heat of the Carolina reaper for me, making it finish bright and almost slightly sweet on my palate. I’ve added it to beef heavy chili recipes in the winter and cold gazpacho soups in the summer - not too much - several drops aka half teaspoon to two teaspoons does the trick in opening up the flavors. This sauce isn’t going to be for everyone because of its heat but for those of us who can handle it, it becomes a nice ‘staple’ for the kitchen akin to having salt and pepper on hand at all times.

With so many hot sauces out there it’s truly special when you find one that hits nicely! This is my new favorite. A balanced, dark, rounded, natural flavor profile and its heat is not trying to kill you. I highly recommend

Amazon's algorithm was cooking... I was looking for a replacement for another, less available hot sauce that I like (reaper/flavorful savory component/sweet component), when I was given a 50% off flash sale on this sauce... so, I bought two bottles of it. I don't regret it. This is an umami bomb with black garlic, and a little goes a long way in terms of both flavor and heat. It's intense, tends to make the face red and sweaty, but doesn't linger long. I like to put a few dashes of it in a bowl of noodles, but beware, this is a very thin sauce with no dripper insert. It's not quite as sweet as the sauce I was replacing, and there is a little maple as advertised, but the vinegar gives a sweet/sour effect.

So I got this in the mail today and immediately went to try it. A dab on a spoon to see if it was palatable. I think most of the reviews say it all. It’s very mild on the black garlic (which in and of itself can be a very savory umami taste) which makes it almost unrecognizable. It’s mostly vinegary with a hint of sweetness. I don’t hate the sauce. I find that it is better when combined with other things. I made chili the other night and mixed it in there and it brought a nice heat. I don’t know if I’d pay to purchase this sauce again though. It’s got a nice heat, but won’t be super overbearing that you can’t enjoy your food (unless of course spicy is not something you typically do). This sauce is middle of the road for me. I was hoping for a more flavorful sauce. If you are a heat seeker this sauce will also likely disappoint. Its hot but not hot hot.

I've been getting into the hot sauce game recently and seems like your average run of the mill hot sauces found in most supermarket stores just don't cut it. I wanted something that would truly test my heat tolerance without overpowering the taste of what I put it on. I decided to give the Bravado Black Garlic Reaper sauce a try after it was recommended to me. All I can say is I'm really glad I did because it adds a nice garlicky heat without overpowering the taste of the food its mixed into. The color of the sauce is inviting and I can see myself using this particular hot sauce on quite a few things I like to eat. 11/10 likeability scale.

This has become my go-to hot sauce. It is spicy but incredibly flavorful. It goes really well on pizza, Mac and cheese, and anything that goes well with garlic.

First off, I had no idea this was featured on Hot Ones as the title suggests. I simply purchased this on a whim because I wanted to free shipping and enjoy a good hot sauce. Did not look into it any further than that. That said, holy cow does this have some heat. I was certainly not expecting it. This is one of those where I tell folks that come over, if they want to go life and death with their food, give it a shot. It's definitely not for folks that just want to spice up their food a tad. That said, I do have buddies who come over and enjoy it on their pizza and what not, so it's not a total waste for me, but I can't say I've had it much beyond my initial try with it. It's way hotter than I had expected. I'll give it a 5 star however because I didn't read into how hot it was and for some people, perhaps it's not terribly hot. You can't really punish the sauce just because you can't take it as well as others. Besides, my buddies that have it, say it does taste really good, so I trust them since they can handle it much better than me :D

This product used to be both flavorful and spicy. Now it's just flavorful. They 1000% changed their recipe since I bought this last. It's vibrant and garlicky and paired well with my pizza, ham and cheese sandwiches, and chips and guacamole. All of these foods diluted the heat to the point where it didn't tickle my spicy sense like the previous bottle did. I just ate a raw spoonful before I posted this review, and I didn't sweat at all. I will be happy to consume this sauce until I've used every drop, but I won't be buying it again unless my spice tolerance takes a dive.

This is a great sauce, which has a nice savoury flavour. There is a bit of vinegar to it but definitely not overpowering. When I first tried it, the smokey maple flavour actually hit me first. The heat is quite intense, and builds rather than just immediately setting your tongue on fire - in my opinion resulting in a tingly throat heat that puts me in mind of a Scotch whisky's warmth. Uses natural ingredients so it's not an artificial heat, and works well as a condiment or mixed in with a chilli, or whatever you fancy! Would definitely buy again! Don't use whilst drinking beer though - found that out the hard way.

This is quite possibly my fave hot sauce. Have been wanting to get some for quite a while (A fan of Hot Ones show) and it popped up on my Amazon front page. BUY IT NOW was pressed in an instant. Package arrived well protected the next day (GJ Amazon) Immediately upon opening the bottle you get a strong smell of garlic, but also a smell of vinegar (this got me worried, hate that taste in hot sauces) Thankfully upon grabbing a tea spoon full of this and giving it a taste test I was very happy. That vinegar smell thankfully didnt take over in the taste test but damn did the garlic and chilli. Very strong garlic taste and slow burning on the heat that certainly creeps up on you. I wouldnt say its the hottest sauce ive ever had, far from it infact. Though it certainly packs a punch and most importantly it tastes GREAT. Will certainly be buying again.

Great product, nice garlic taste. Not too much burn just enough to make you huff a little! 10/10 recommend for spice lovers but not for dragons that just make it inedible spicy.

This sauce has an excellent heat and excellent flavour without being searingly hot, so it can be splashed onto a dish without OTT heat… well, I did… My only minor criticism of it, is that it could benefit from being a little less runny, but that is just something I think would make it even better.. it is a lovely spicy sauce 🌶️
