My first attempt at fermented hot sauce turned into a weird science experiment

I threw a bunch of habaneros and garlic into a jar with a 3% brine about 6 weeks ago and just opened it today. The smell was like a mix of fruit and old gym socks, but the taste was actually pretty amazing once I blended it up with some vinegar. Has anyone else had a batch that smelled terrifying but ended up tasting great?

Wouldn't have expected gym sock smell to lead to something tasty at all.

Same here, honestly thought bad smell meant ruined batch until I tried it.
