hopIQ take
Honolulu Beerworks Poʻino Porter if you want weight and warmth,
NITRO HOKUM if you want sessionable smoothness.
Both hit 33 IBUs, so bitterness is a wash—the real split is the 1.4% ABV gap, which lands differently than you'd expect. Poʻino feels like a proper nightcap; NITRO slides into your second or third round without friction.

Honolulu Beerworks Poʻino Porter
Poʻino carries itself with real presence. There's chocolate and cocoa backbone that doesn't taste like an add-in—it's baked into the grain bill. The 5.8% ABV gives it a warming finish that lingers, almost whiskey-adjacent. Smooth enough that you won't feel the strength, but substantial enough that you'll know you drank something.
NITRO HOKUM
NITRO HOKUM's nitrogen widget does the heavy lifting here—ultra-creamy head, almost milky mouthfeel. At 4.4%, it's lean enough to feel refreshing despite the dark color. The roast is gentler, less assertive; bitterness stays polite. This is the porter that doesn't demand respect, just offers it.
