The Bottom line:  Good flavor and decent heat.  This is one that can be used in just about any applications that you would use a Habanero to Fatalii heat level.  

On Heat. This pepper had a nice little burn that was more "super" inspired instead of others at its heat level.  I was expecting that it would be more stingy like I get with a lot of habaneros, but this was a more steady burn.  Manageable, but it was still a nice burn. 

On Taste.  Nice flavor, pretty fruity.  This is not consistent with the Bhuts, as they are usually very floral.  This is a pretty good indication (As with the heat) that this is probably a cross of some sort and/or picked up the "bhut" name some time along the way.   

On Vigor and Production. Everything I have seen has shown that these are great producers with loads of pods.  The pod that I had was a bit on the smaller side, so I cannot attest to the size consistency.  

Heat: T3
Flavor: T2
Production: T1

This pepper would in just about any pepper application you can think of.  Sauce, powder, fresh, sautéed, or pickled.  All of them would be awesome.
