Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Honolulu Beerworks Poʻino Porter if you want roasted depth and slight sweetness,
Pablo Porter if you want a cleaner, more straightforward malt backbone.
Both clock in at nearly identical IBUs (33) and similar ABV territory (5.8% vs 5.5%), so this is really about texture and finish. The Poʻino leans into chocolate and caramel notes that linger, while Pablo keeps things more restrained and sessionable.

Honolulu Beerworks Poʻino Porter
Poʻino hits you with genuine cocoa on the nose—not artificial, but that deep roasted thing. The mouthfeel is thicker than you'd expect from 5.8%, almost creamy in the way it coats your palate. There's a touch of sweetness mid-sip, like brown sugar or molasses, before the roast pulls back in for a dry finish. It's a porter that actually feels intentional, not just a by-the-book interpretation.
Pablo Porter
Pablo Porter is more restrained—almost understated. The roast is there but doesn't dominate; instead you get a clean malt sweetness that feels grain-forward. It's drier overall, with less residual sweetness hanging around. The finish is quick and doesn't linger much, which makes it easier to session through multiple pints without getting tired of it.
