Okay spicy food lovers, this is the thread for you. What exactly is your favorite fiery sauce? Mine is either Dave's Insanity Sauce (let the jokes fly) or Melinda's Original Habanero Sauce. I like sauces that have some flavor to go with their heat, not just something that is flaming hot.
My problem with Dave's Insanity Sauce was I felt it lacked flavor. I like good spice usually more than the next person, but I find myself going for subtler spice lately for the main reason that it ends up with better flavor (and the smell of really spicy stuff has been upsetting my wife's stomach).

That's true. I tend to use Dave's when I am making sauces or soups like Chili. I have had the same bottle of Dave's for about five years now and I'm pretty sure it's not even half empty yet.
I've tried a bunch, including Dave's Insanity Sauce (too hot-too little flavor) and the Death, After-Death, and Mega-Death sauces (WOW! WAY too hot) but I suppose the hottest sauce I actually liked was West African Voodoo Juice. Cholula is my favorite all-round sauce for day to day consumption. My gut doesn't like the super hot stuff any more...and it makes me PAY! :-) Melinda's is darn tasty though!

Here ya go... Turbo Supercharge
Try some of the others as well...
I have some homemade Habanero relish that a Native American friend gave me. It looks like it's about the same.
My favorite is not a pepper sauce, that's mustard.
Preferably old style (à l'ancienne), and from France, of course.
I occasionally use Tabasco or Harissa, but as ingredients for sauce preparation, not alone.

Some days I think my addiction to spicy food keeps Pepcid in buisness. ;-) Fortunately for me, one of the resturants here in town has a hot sauce bar, so I try and grab a few new sauces to try every time I go in there. The best I have found is Tahiti Joe's and Bad Day in Baghdad, but they don't keep those stocked regularly. A local company is also making peach, strawberry, kiwi, and blackberry infused sauces. I like all but the kiwi.
For Christmas last year my brother made a pot of chili and added a drop of Mad Dog 357 into his bowl and mine. I didn't really feel all that well the rest of the day!! Don't remember much in the way of taste...just the pain. My wife doesn't understand! :-)

I am pretty sure my brother (a chef and a big pepperhead) has tried that before...I think he liked it! He has over four hundred bottles of hot sauce that he has collected over the years. He has even purchased a jar of capsaicin crystals--he used these to make his home made sauce. Man is crazy!
usually I love extremely hot, make your colon bleed sauces, but there was this on sauce that trader joes had called Tena, It was one of the most delicious (while still having a heat factor) sauces I've ever stubled upon....but now it is discontinued *cries a little inside* so for day to day stuff I use hank's red hot EXTRA HOT cayenne pepper sauce
but if I'm really in the mood for spice and flavor, I make my own hot sauce, using a mix of hot teriyaki, my hank's and honey....mmmmmm

Ooooh! Blackberry infused? That sounds interesting! I imagine the peach would be okay, and I bet strawberry is good too. Can't really imagine the kiwi though...sounds like it would be...odd. Unfortunately my wife and kids don't like spicy (black pepper is too much for them!) so I don't get much chance to use the good sauces in cooking. I will have to look around for some of the infused fruit sauces.
Generally I prefer salt, vinegar, and peppers, but I do recall tasting a carrot-based habenero sauce once that was different in a good way.
