HOPIQ TAKE

Jewellery Porter if you want a porter with more presence and grip, Plum Porter if you want something softer and more approachable. Both sit at nearly identical ABV and bitterness, so the difference isn't about strength—it's about how each brewery's house character shapes the base style. Two Towers leans into a drier, more assertive malt backbone, while Titanic's version has a subtler, almost creamy quality that makes it feel lighter on the palate despite being nearly the same beer on paper.

TASTING NOTES

Jewellery Porter

RoastedCoffeeCaramel

Jewellery Porter has real backbone. There's a dry cocoa-and-leather thing happening that sticks around, and the roasted grain profile doesn't retreat—it stays present, almost chalky in a good way. The 5% ABV isn't high, but you feel it; there's a warmth and weight that makes this feel like an actual porter, not a session beer pretending to be one. No fruit, no sweetness trying to soften it—just honest, slightly austere dark malt work.

Plum Porter

RoastedDark fruitFruity

Plum Porter drinks smoother, almost creamy on the finish despite the name suggesting otherwise (and I don't actually taste plum, to be clear). The roast is there but rounded—it's like comparing hard toffee to soft toffee. It's more forgiving, less demanding, and that 4.9% feels genuinely lighter. This is a porter that invites you back for another sip rather than one that makes a statement and waits for your response.
