12oz bottle thanks to Steve side by with the normal version. Pours out black topped with a tan head. Nose is light chocolate cake but the heavy peat smoke and bandaid take over. Taste is tons of smoke ash roast malts some bandaid. Wow some thing that was so good in a double barrel turned so bad.

Bottle. Thick black oily pour. Rich aroma of mocha, pecan nuts, creamy snickers, booze, milk chocolate and caramel. Taste is a real tour of flavors, first it has bitter chocolate, pecan nuts, mocha caramel and then gradually the cognac booze, red fruit and whisky kick in. Finish is sweet, creamy and fruity, with subtle tart from the cognac. Insane beer, really amazing.

Full, creamy mouthfeel, with a soft carbonation.
Finishes medium boozy, medium dry, roasty, wooden, with liquorice, coffee, some dark chocolate, nuts.

Very nice. As with many Omnipollo beers, the nose is just outstanding, even a bit better than the regular Noa Pecan. The taste isn’t fully balanced though in my opinion, with the boozy barrel notes too dominant and also too sweet, while also really complex. Overall this doesn’t benefit from the barrel aging if you ask me, the regular version is great as it is. Still a nice sipper you especially can’t stop smelling.
