I finally compared and taste tested all my this year peppers, I said I would do it weeks ago but better late than never.
Upper row are all sweet, bottom row are all hot.
Marked with star are my internal names of peppers that are hybrids from seeds or I simply don't know the name.
Taste:
Ingrid, Prawie Słodka, Oleńka are sweet, classic red pepper but even sweeter taste and without bland pepper like flavor store bought peppers usually have
Ożarowska is similar but a bit less sweet and a bit more bitter
Nocturn is also similar but a bit more pepper like bland, still really good
Zlata is sweet but inferior in flavor to all of them, won't be planting it again
Illyn Orange is unique, sweet but also acidic type of taste, kind of refreshing, my brother really liked it
Poupila is only a bit sweet, more bitter, worse taste wise but the only micro dwarf I have
Hot pepper are hot, cayenne and those tiny red ones are really hot, rokita and hybrid much less so
Plant:
Nocturn is the largest (but not by a large margin), robust and very prolific
Rokita, Ożarowska, Prawie słodka are a bit weaker but still really good
Illyn Orange, Cayenne and Zlata are decent, not as good but still not bad
Ingrid is quite small, looks stunted compared to others, it is still quite prolific but peppers take very long to mature
I have only one hybrid, it's good but that's simply too small sample size to draw significant conclusions
Others are all micro dwarfs, poupila, and the smallest red hot are best out of them
Other stuff:
Ożarowska get damaged and rots on plant easily
Oleńka has really nice shape
Nocturn can be nearly black or red for some reason, no idea how it works
Cayenne air dries very well, Rokita not really
I recommend Ingrid, Nocturn, Ożarowska, Illyn Orange, Cayenne and Rokita for normal planting.
Pupila only if want a micro dwarf.
Overall I'm really satisfied I have way more peppers than I can eat so I started to pickle them to manage their numbers.
