Oh neet. I didn't know their's more than one kind of capsaicin. I wonder if part of the extra complexity for flavoring is somehow because of endorphins. Plus having washed it down with beer (and milk if that's your thing). Then it'd become a question of what beer is best to battle the fireball of chilli? I'm thinking a good belgium or IPA (RIP second street) would be solidly in the top 10 for flavor and alcohol.
