Taste The Fear would like to welcome our little fuzzy buddy Keith back to the reviewing table. He was first spotted on TTF a few weeks ago with his take on the newest CaJohn’s sauces. Also, I would like to introduce to you Grace O’Malley. Grace comes to us with a culinary background. And once again here at the table we hear from the dynamic duo of DK and Buddah.
Ingredients: Lime juice, jalapeno peppers, serrano peppers, dijon mustard, garlic, habanero peppers, vinegar, molasses, olive oil, tumeric.
Keith:
Well, here we go again with yet another great sauce taste test for the Taste The Fear guys. This time Cap’n Bones supplied me with a bit of ASSSSSS MURDERING HOT SAUCE which I must say sounded quite intimidating. After I put my fear behind me and decided to dive in, I found myself pleasantly surprised. This sauce wasn’t nearly as hot as the label leads me to believe which was a good thing in my opinion. This is a very mustardy type sauce which finishes off with a bit of heat but nothing to scream about. I tried the sauce alone at first, then on a piece of bread and finally on a turkey sammich.
Overall, it is a nice, tasty sauce which would work wonders on almost anything I would normally put mustard on. It reminds me somewhat of the Rasta Fire sauce and I am not sure why. The tastes are different but the heat compares and maybe it has something to do with both being in the same type bottle? I can’t quite put my finger on it but that just means more comparative taste tests right? Now if I can only get the Cap’n to leave the bottle with me.
“Hey Cap’n!? What’s that behind you? A monster I think!” … ZOINK … “Now the bottle is mine all mine !!!! MUAHAHAHAHA”. He is so easily distracted, like taking candy from a baby.
Until next time, HAPPY TRAILS and I shall taste again soon. I hope anyways.
Grace O’Malley:
OK, so when the Cap’n came to me and asked for a favor I said, sure. If it makes the Cap’n happy, then of course I am in! Then he told me what he wanted and I said, “WHAT?”. Then he mumbled something weird and then asked if I would do a review of AMHS instead. Being I have no clue what scary thing he had asked of me first, I was more then happy to do the review.
On first impressions, I must admit I was scared! I haven’t seen that color or texture since my kids were in diapers! It took a little nerve to actually open the bottle. It just sat on my kitchen counter for a few days staring and taunting me into trying it. So once I got my nerve up, I opened the bottle and took a huge whiff! Was I ever surprised! Garlic, mustard, vinegar, peppers were perfectly balanced in that wonderful first smell. OK, so now I am a little less scared. It really doesn’t smell to hot, but it does smell delicious! So out comes my little tasting spoon. OMG! The taste is wonderful but this mustard is HOT!!!!! I can taste the mustard, garlic, spices, and chili peppers in a wonderful perfect balance of flavors. But again, it was HOT!!!! But, I also wouldn’t call it a hot sauce. It is more of EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA spicy mustard then of a hot sauce.
Now, the only negative I would have for this sauce is of the label. I would have never guessed such a great sauce came out of such a slap stick label. This is a sauce I would buy for my collection, but would more then likely never open. Well, I am glad that I did open it. What wonders lay inside! I am going to have to get one for my collection now!
I can most definitely see myself using AMHS on my kielbasa, pastrami sandwiches, liverwurst, marinades, and whatever my little evil culinary mind can think of. Although because of the heat, I have to be careful of whom is coming to dinner! But I will tell anyone who enjoys mustard but wants major heat, to give AMHS a try.
DK:
First let me start off by saying “Thank You” to Winnie & Turk for sending me their sauce for review. I was very surprised to find in the package a “Thank You” card and a very nicely written press release for the company. This tells me right off that I’m in for a treat. No holding back here, so no way there’s gonna be any cutting corners with the sauce.
So let’s get to the sauce. That’s what it’s about, right? Ok, my first impression. The label. LOL!! Ok, yea, I laughed and smiled when I first saw it. It’s a bit “gimmicky”, but what sets it apart from other “gimmick” labels is the quality of the label itself, and the look of the sauce. It’s a really nice golden color. And looks really thick and there’s even some small pieces of stuff visible in there. This ain’t your typical “ass burnin’” gimmick label red Tabasco wanna be hot sauce here. This sauce looks like the real deal.
Judging by the color, I expect to see mustard as one of the first ingredients here, but no, it’s lime juice? That’s followed by Jalapeno and Serrano peppers, THEN comes the mustard. There’s Habs in there too, but they are further down the list. This hints at a mild to medium heat level sauce. I guess the ass thought otherwise. LOL!! I’m not gonna cover all of the ingredients here, but the sauce appears to be a hot mustard at first glance. Except for that first ingredient, lime juice. It just keeps striking me as odd to be the primary ingredient in a mustard sauce. So I’m not gonna call this a hot mustard until my taste buds tell me otherwise.
The smell of it to me right off is of peppers and lime. doesn’t smell like mustard to me. I pour a little out onto a spoon and taste it straight. Yep, first the hit off of the lime with the flavor of the peppers dominating this sauce. Really good heat too. Not a killer (or ass murderer in this case LOL!!), but it packs a little punch. Enough to get the sniffles going off of just a taste. But hey, there’s that mustard flavor. It’s not overpowering, but it’s definitely a mustard based sauce. The consistency is very nice. Fairly thick with chunks of stuff to add texture to it, and it pours very nicely.
So, what to use it with? First thoughts are with foods that I normally use mustard with. Hot Dogs, Brats, Hamburger, that kind of thing. But this sauce still doesn’t hit me as a mustard, but a pepper sauce with mustard in it. And Lime. The lime adds a great twang to it that reminds me of some good ‘ol Carolina style mustard based BBQ sauces that I’ve had. So there’s my answer. Spare Ribs. I’m betting this sauce makes for a great BBQ.
As I’m prepping the ribs with the sauce, I also whip up a batch of ready made coleslaw as a side. Well, how about a touch of Ass Murdering Hot Sauce in there?
I also open up a can of beans to round things out and add a touch of Jim Campbell’s BBQ sauce to them for good measure. But back to the Ass Murdering Sauce.
The sauce worked really well brushed directly onto the ribs while cooking like a BBQ sauce. Without marinating before hand, the flavor of the sauce worked it’s way through the meat very well. One thing I noticed was the heat. I don’t know if it was because of the cooking, or just the quantity of sauce that I used (nearly the whole bottle!) but the ribs were smokin’ hot! Definitely hotter than a medium heat. It had me sniffling, and pouring sweat during the entire meal. As an added ingredient to the coleslaw, there was no relief there either! The slaw was delicious. The Ass Murdering Hot Sauce added just the right amount of heat and flavor to it and complimented the spare ribs nicely.
Final thoughts on this sauce, I love it! I really love the fact that it’s not just a hot mustard. All of the ingredients blend really well for a unique flavor all it’s own. Instead of a hot mustard, it’s a mustard flavored hot sauce. This I think gives it much more versatility over just a mustard. This bottle will be replaced very soon as there’s only a few drops left. Maybe enough for more coleslaw. Mmmmm! Coleslaw! Great sauce and it gets a double “Hell Yea” on the Gatorman scale!
Buddah:
In the mail I received this bottle, a nice message of thanks, and a few pages of info/history about this company with a mission. I got to think that a sauce called “Ass Murdering” has to be coming from a person with a sense of humor. Now will the hot sauce be something to laugh at or will it buck the trend of gimmicky hot sauce and be something more. Well, we have all read the HSB debate, and it is all ready tired and old. I, for one don’t care what the hot sauce is called, as long as it isn’t Anti-American, a cause of discrimination, or something so heinous that might make President George W. Bush look like a Democrat. To each their own, but if a sauce depicts a cartoon of a dead jackass, what do I care? So lets just get to the review and make believe the label is not there to begin with.I love mustard, and from the previous reviews that I have read I was thinking that when I gave the ingredients on the bottle a once over. In the middle of the ingredients I saw the words “dijon mustard”. Yes, I was influenced all ready by reading the other opinions of various Chileheads, whether it was in a recipe or in a review. Yet, if you put dijon mustard in your hot sauce, there is a good chance you will find out that you have created a mustard from a mustard. So let’s cut to the chase and call this Ass Murdering Hot Sauce, Ass Mustard for now, because in all senses of the word this is a mustard.
I prepared a hot dog, a small piece of chicken(just some loose shreds), a slice of ham, and 1 meatball. Yes, you read that right, 1 meatball. I can only eat some much folks. Once the hot dog was heated, I ate that first. It definitely tasted like mustard on a hot dog, but not like most mustards I have had. It was thick and had an interesting flavor, hard to pinpoint which flavors within the mustard were upfront and center in my mouth. I rolled it up in some ham, and it worked there too. There was a relish quality to it. The chicken was good, even though I would never have normal mustard with chicken, I figure this wasn’t normal mustard. I was right. I didn’t notice the heat so much, but there was burn. So far, the Ass Mustard was doing a decent job with my meal. The ham was my least favorite, but it wasn’t bad at all.
Once I ate the meatball which I cooked with the Ass Mustard I did feel the heat get stronger. It is a chicken meatball with red peppers by the way , and I have found really good uses with hot sauces by using them in the past. The Ass Mustard was the best this way. I really loved the meatball so much, the next day, I decided to cook several meatballs with it. I smothered about 12 of the small meatballs with the Ass Mustard and then nuked them like a good bachelor does when he doesn’t want to make a big mess in the kitchen sink. I really wished I had a digital camera, because the meatballs looked so interesting with the mustard baked into them. There was a bit of a nuclear look about them. As if they been found at a chemical spill. I bet they wouldn’t appear too appetitizing of a meal for some fancy banquet, but they were right up my alley.
After each meatball I noticed that my mouth was starting to tingle with heat. I started to sweat and even got a tear in my eye. I think there is something in this Ass Mustard that when cooked brings out the peppery spice, and you really feel lit up from it. I was actually getting a nice burn and endorphin rush, and the taste was really good. I would definitely eat the meatballs like this again. I don’t think I would give up my traditional hot dog mustards for this Ass Mustard, but I would cook with it more. Experimentation of hot sauce is fun for me, and I had a good time with the Ass Mustard. Forget the murdering, there is no crime here. The only injustice would be if you didn’t give this stuff a try. So go out and get yourself some Ass Mustard!

Great day for this review. I have my bottle of AMHS and knishes in the fridge here at work. I know what I’m doing for lunch… stay tuned.
MMMMM…love me a good knish!!!
nice review, out of everything that i tried it on the best was a jumbo beer brat in a pocket pita with lots of sourkrout and this sauce. and a heineken on the side.
Nice multi-review guys! Looks like four thumbs up! I really liked this sauce as well. I used it in a wing off recipe with kraut and swiss. Look for another upcoming recipe featuring AMHS, Blue Cheese Habanero Bacon Burger W/AMHS. I would already have the recipe out, but I whipped it together @ about 3 AM and it didn’t occur to me to take pictures until I had it almost all assembled. It looked and smelled so good I new I had to share it with you all. Congrats Turk and Winnie!
I will take mine with cheddar please.
MMMMMM…bleu cheese bacon burger….one of my favorites!! I’ll be looking for your recipe!! Sounds yummy!!
Nice review everyone!! Hope to get with Turk and Winnie before we go home!! Definatly have to pick up that sauce!

Thanks to everyone at TTF for putting together a great review of my Family’s Hot Sauce. I just wish I had been smart enough to send 2 bottles instead of 1 to everyone but I’ll make up for that when I send out the promo packages for our next sauce in 3 to 4 months.
I have got to develop a recipe section on our website for all of the delicious creations that you guys have come up with using our sauce.
Thanks again.
The sauce is great Turk! I agree with everything that the reviewers have to say about your product. I haven’t used it in cooking, but I’ve used it on burgers, hot dogs, CORN DOGS, and fish.
I have an idea that I’m gonna email you about soon. If you don’t hear from me within a few days, shoot me an email as a reminder.
I hope it’s what I thinking. I’ll keep an eye out for your e-mail.
No, it isn’t about letting you steer the ship. Only DK gets to do that, but at what cost?
I’m more of a crows nest type of scalleywag. :cool
