First off, WOW! This thing is a beast.  I am really happy that the pain is over...

First on taste.  It took me a minute to collect my thoughts. I wanted to immediately say, "It tastes Great! Wow, it has a nice and subdued earthy flavor, with very little "Chinense Sharpness".  But the heat really took my breath away.  It took me a few minutes to collect my thoughts, but eventually I got the flavor pinned down. 

On Shape: It is amazingly Douglah-Ish.  I know the debate is out there on whether or not they are the same, and the shape places a point in the "same pepper" column.  There were about 15 or so seeds. Dark brown and another interesting note is the fact that they seem to get very ripe, very quick.  It is likely tied the fact that they are thin skinned. 

On Heat:  This one is a beast.  I really wasn't "surprised", per se, however, it really hit me hard.  I haven't had a super in a bit, and this one was maybe a tough decision to jump back into the game with.  It had the traditional 7 Pot "Hot Coal Burn", and it worked it's way up my mouth and around my tongue.  I am having difficulty drawing  a clear parallel with some of the other's I have had, but I can say that this one definitely ranks among the top.  I use the physical paralysis as a huge indicator of heat level, as well as the heat to my mouth.  This one was right up there and I think that I would have to (after re-watching some of my other videos) rank this one #2/3 based on those factors.  There are a few things that can affect the overall heat level, and even though it was ridiculously hot, I think fresh from the plant would have bumped it up a bit.  Like I mentioned above, this pepper was very thin-walled, and because of that they can get very ripe, very quick. The more ripe a pepper is, sometimes the heat can diminish.  And if this thing lost ANY heat, it is a monster.  

Lastly, the after effects.  You know, I have said it many times before but, I really HATE stomach pain.  I made the dumb choice of eating this thing after I spent the day in pain from the night before's antics....Gotta love Irish Pubs in Old Town, Va....Anyways, my stomach was already hurting and I didn't want the pepper to go bad.  So add to that the amazing amount of Capsacin in the pepper, about 10 minutes after everything relaxed and the heat went away, the stomach pain started.  I tried to combat it with a Sonic Blast, but it didn't seem to work.  I think that the ice cream actually made it worse.  I am going to have to get this thing under control if I expect to keep eating them raw.  

Now what to do with it.  So if you grow this pepper, it would make a great sauce.  Its flavor is subtle and nice, and the heat is off the chart.  A powder would work, but sauce would probably preferable.  I am going to review some sauce a bit later, and I think that the 7 Pot Brown's heat would be perfect in that application.  

Thanks for watchin!
