B&O Railroad Ghost Train Hot Sauce Review
B&O Ghost Train, like the other fine sauces B&O sauces (Fire Box, Iron Thunder, and Thunder Fire) features absolutely fresh ingredients that shone through in the taste of the sauce. Ghost Train, as you might have guessed from the name of the sauce, is built upon a foundation of Bhut Jolokia peppers (the ghost pepper). But that’s not all folks. There’s also Peri-Peri peppers thrown in for good measure, along with a little pepper extract. Combine those ingredients with vinegar, tomato, garlic, onion, molasses, salt, and assorted herbs, you’ve got yourself something special.
I have always dug the taste of the Peri-Peri and the jolokia. They are rather similar and compliment one another well in this hot sauce blend. The combination also produces a blistering explosion that will leave heat seekers smiling from one ear to the other.
Ghost Train works very well in a number of circumstances. It’s an excellent add in to any salsa or cheese, it tastes great in chili, and works well as a steak sauce. It definitely isn’t for those who can’t stand the heat, though. The burn is almost instant and lingers lasts for some time, but it is a heat that chili heads well satisfied.
I’m a barbecue nut. There are a lot of great hot barbecue sauces on the market, but if you don’t happen to have one on hand, try using Ghost Train as the basis for your own sauce. Mix it with some tomato sauce, molasses, liquid smoke, and butter for a sauce you can spread over your barbecue.
This one has a nice, medium pore, great aroma, super heat, and the taste only a sauce crafted with skill can produce.
