True, but the flavor of Habaneros is fantastic. You can really dial a lot of that heat down by carefully de-seeding/destemming them. I’m also tempted to grow some of these this year:

+a bunch. This is spot on in my opinion. Though about 100 times hotter than a jalapeño, the flavor is far superior. If used in moderation at a medium between heat and flavor, you’re not going to find a better pepper than a habanero.

I plan on attempting a mango/habanero beer of sort this year. Sure, you can add a blind amount of habanero to a beer and melt the faces off anybody who drinks it, or you can focus on flavoring it with habanero and make a nice chili flavored beer that finishes with a touch of heat. Le others said, I think I’d add a bit at a time regardless of chili choice until you get your desired flavor and heat.

Never had a mango/habanero beer, but it’s a great flavor combination for food - a real Caribbean thing. I like to puree mango and habaneros with some white vinegar and use it as a marinade/sauce for grilled chicken or chicken wings. Served with some coconut rice. Killer stuff !

I had a cask of Dale’s Pale Ale from Oskar Blues that had mango and habanero added in the cask. It was incredible and I don’t even like mango. I’ve since thought about recreating it but haven’t got around to it yet.
