Noa Pecan Mud Cake
Omnipollo

If you’re a fan of high ABV’s in your beers, then this is probably one of the best you can get your hands on. I, however, am extremely averse to them!!! It feels like I’m slowly pouring drain cleaner in my mouth - which in this case tastes like a chocolate mudcake.
It wasn’t horrible.

May 9 2026

At my lady Pamela's house; canned and chilled, 473mL in a pint glass. From my favourite LCBO at Tecumseh Mall in nearby Windsor. Canned August 14/25. My seventh beer from Craft Brand's The Bodega, of Toronto, and sixth for 2025. Contemplated over by Sundae the cat, although for all intents and purposes, she's probably only thinking about food or of taking a bath...

Bought in Canada for $8 a tallboy. This beer is also now made in Toronto, Canada.
Didn't pour any foam but had a little fizz. Black stout color. Smells almost of a whiskey with that oak barrel aroma mixed with some vanilla extract and dark cherry chocolate.

Taste is very bold.
I grew a bunch of chest hair after my 1st big sip while knocking my socks off at the exact same time.
Besides tasting more alcohol than I'm used too in a beer (Whopping 11% ABV here) I'm getting that oak and vanilla extract flavor. Again with the dark cherry chocolate and not so much pecan in my opinion.
Maybe even some chocolate syrup flavors mixed in.

This beer is a little too hardcore for me to enjoy on the regular but once in a long while I may try something potent like this again (and have in the past but not this one again). Maybe best for special occasions or showing everyone what you have stored away, but for myself I'll drink something like this on a Thursday evening at 6 pm just because I want to and have nothing else better to do.

Keep in mind there are artificial colors and flavors added to this beer ( I generally don't buy anything with weird ingredients added because it's kind of cheating trying to hide flaws in the beer or it's trying to give you something that's not really there ) but only found out after i purchased the can and looking online.
I won't buy this one again for myself simply because I don't like the taste too much and it's not worth the $8 a can.

After more than a couple sips I can stomach it anymore. Starts to become yucky syrup, so going to pour the rest.

Very dark brown body with a quickly disappearing tan head. One of the prettiest aromas I’ve encountered: vanilla, lots of vanilla, caramel, pecans & milk chocolate. Very sweet & a little salty. Flavors: vanilla, marshmallows, prunes, ripe figs & dates, alcohol, pecans & a big chocolate finish. Feel: creamy smooth, low carbonation but plenty of tongue numbing alcohol accompanied with some heat. Overall: insanely delicious. Wishing the bottle was larger than 11.2 oz.

Pours like cola. The head is negligible and evaporates quickly.
The nose is soft pecan and vanilla. The feel is very soft with a little burn at the end.
As far as the taste, I am really not sure. Not pecan for sure, but also not anything else. It's sweet, but it's almost like vodka with cherry cola and the flavour of tin can. Very sticky. Not great, not horrible, just don't know what this is.

473ml can served cool into a tulip

Appearance – Dark cola brown with a half finger of tan head on top. Short retention time.

Smell- Stout like with some caramel and treacle. Some roasty nuts but also quite boozy.

Taste –Boozy a bit nutty with some molasses and roastiness. Lingering bitterness and molasses. Not picking up in the way of nuts.

Mouthfeel – Thick and full bodied, low carbonation, not really creamy or velvety. Harsh booziness.

Overall – I wanted to like this much more than I did. Not much in the way of pecans or any sort of sweetness and the ABV is a bit overbearing. Best to share or fine a smaller sample.

 

Black colour with a small creamy tan head.
Aroma: pecan, nuts, milk chocolate, roasted malt, some coffee, vanilla, burnt toffee.
Taste: chocolate, roasted malt, sweet pecan, bitter coffee, some alcohol. Full body.

Oily black colour forming a small beige head with some lacings left. Nose is a must: roasted malts, pecan, vanilla, dark chocolate, coffee... Slightly sweet upfront taste, like the nose. Grassy hops. Full body. Perfect carbonation. Perfect Swedish IS.

Copenhagen 5/2 2022. 33 cl chubby bottle from Systembolaget, Emporia, Hyllie. Print of smiling mouth and eyes on the bottle.

Pours opaque dark brown with a small beige head. Settles as thin flimsy layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer. Moderate lacing.

Aroma is intense and very sweet and cake-like with a potent odor of alcohol lurking in the background. Abundance of brown sugar, chocolate cake, sour cream and nuts. Dark potent alcohol.

Light carbonation. Thick, viscous, fat, creamy, soft and smooth texture.

Flavor is intense with a strong sweetness followed by a very subdued bitterness. Aftertaste is sugary sweet with a boozy streak. Lingering for a long time. Finish is sweet alcohol.

Quite the boozy cake beer.

 

 

Bottle from Más que Cervezas, served at home in a snifter glass.
Almost black colour, small brown head that fades quickly, no lacing.
Aroma of chocolate, vanilla, raisins, plums, liquor cream, hazelnut (pecan nuts I guess, but I've never tried one), brandy.
Full body, sticky texture, no carbonation. Sweet finish.
Taste follows the aroma with notes of coffee.
A beast.

 

This beer is delicious, takes me about 2 hours to work my way through an 11.2 oz bottle. The cocoa aftertaste is great and the bourbon is well done. It's hard to believe it's 14.5% ABV, unless you drink it quickly in which case expect a headache. Clearly superior to many domestic stouts of this type.
