Not all, but certainly some do. Dave's Insanity has some of that
burnt cat taste, with a bit of tomato added in.
Inferno doesn't, as I recall, but it does have a clove taste to it.
Backdraft doesn't have that burnt cat taste either, as I recall.
Of course, other people may be more tuned into detecting that burnt
cat taste than I am.
I've only tasted a few of the very hot extract based sauces, mostly
because I don't have much use for them on food, and so I don't bother
buying them.
The Inferno stuff snuck up on me at a hot sauce tasting/judging a couple
years ago. It didn't seem too hot when I tried it on the first taco chip,
so I tried a much larger sample. I'm told I turned a nice shade of pink.
The moral here is to wait a few minutes before thinking that all is well.
Those that have tried "THE BREAD" know the wisdom of this.
