Label:
Not my favorite design, but I do like it, as it pretty much let's you know what you've got yourself into. I do love the Golden Toad on the hat though! (Also, CO native. Love that)
Looks:
consistenty and color are perfect. I personally sometimes like a little bit of chunkier bits maybe seeds or little bits of peppers, but honestly I'm splitting hairs at this point. This stuff is amazing and I literally buy at least 2 bottles at a time.
Aroma:
smells great and doesn't burn my nose hairs when I give it a smell. You can also smell the garlic and 'fruitfulness' of the habanereo.
Taste:
Its a wonderful mix of heat and flavor. Don't get me wrong its hot, but between the Naga Jolokia and the Habanero which have different "burn times" (in my experience) and different flavors, it gets the heat going by that initial 'punch' but then let's the garlic, vinegar, and honey come though, but continues to keep that heat going. It's dynamic. Keeps you going back, just don't touch your eyes lol.
Heat:
well I'm a bit of a heat freak. But this is honestly on of the hottest sauces I've had, and I always keep a bottle (or 3) at home. Mostly because it brings the heat but still brings GREAT flavor. Not that easy to do. I make homemade stuff from my garden every year, but this is better. Respect!
Overall:
11 out of 10. I have maybe too many varieties of sauce in my collection (according to my wife :) but I always make sure I've got some Xtinction. Its the go to for when I really want some tasty heat. I just have to make sure I wash up and brush my teeth before I kiss her lol

Label:
The labeling should include scoville units of the finished sauce!
Looks:
Perfect consistency for the heat level.
Aroma:
Smells of garlic and vinegar with a good bit of nostril-searing heat.
Taste:
Great to add heat, but it's missing the smokiness associated with Ghost peppers.
Heat:
Pleasant amount of heat, but you look a little ridiculous sitting in your office and sweating.
Overall:
I will keep buying this sauce, because it lasts much longer than anything else at $7. I go through Melindas in a week, whereas a bottle of Xtinction will last 4-6 weeks.
