I think that's why I tend to like carrot based hot sauces over vinegar. The carrot dulls the spiciness a bit and you get the flavor of the peppers more.

Carrot based hot sauce you say? I'm intrigued and will research on my own, but do you have a suggestion for a good tasting medium heat hot sauce that is carrot based?

Secret Aardvark is pretty famous in the US West and its third ingredient is carrot. This site has a whole section for carrot-based. I think they are usually habanero sauces

I actually have some Secret Aardvark in my fridge already, it's tasty stuff. Never realized it was carrot based. Thanks for the info and link.

Ferment your own if you really want to get wild. It's not hard, just takes patience.

Many of the thick sauces are carrot based, since it stops it just being a bottle of spice water and actually has a sauce consistancy

I've got one at the moment that's Naga with a Peach base. That's damn tasty.
