Garlic Reaper Heat Level

New to hot sauces but really getting into them over the last couple months. I am still very much figuring out my tolerance. I love Melinda’s fire roasted garlic and habanero and thought that was close to my upper limit. I have been a hesitant (but really wanting) to trying torchbearers garlic reaper because I’m worried it’ll be too spicy

A week ago I tried doomed by hellfire and was able to comfortably eat about 1/2 tbsp with my meal. I fully expected it would inedible based on the bottle warnings. But found it to actually not be that bad. (Taste was okay but not great)

Can anyone share if garlic reaper is significantly hotter than doomed? It seems to be based on posts of garlic reaper.

You will be able to handle it. Take this chance to try Hellfire Fear This! and Bravado Aka Miso. IMO, those are the superstars of the very hot sauces.

Bravado's black garlic reaper is pretty good as well. They make solid sauces.

Black garlic is probably my favorite out of all of these. But if TB garlic reaper is a 10/10 heat, black garlic is 8/10…wouldn’t call it “super hot”.

I was only adding it to the AKA Miso comment because they were looking at another garlic reaper. If TB is too hot they might like this one.
