NITRO HOKUM if you want a sessionable, creamy porter that won't weigh you down,
Pile O' Dirt Porter if you want something with more muscle and depth.
Both hit the same IBU target at 33, but that 1.6% ABV difference shifts the whole experience—NITRO Hokum's nitrogen carbonation gives you that silky mouthfeel at a crushable strength, while Pile O' Dirt swings heavier with roasted backbone. Pick NITRO if you're settling in for multiple rounds; pick Pile O' Dirt if you want one that earns your attention.

NITRO HOKUM
NITRO HOKUM has this unusually soft landing for a porter—the nitrogen bubbles create a dense head that clings to the glass, and the beer itself tastes almost creamy despite the lean 4.4% ABV. You get genuine chocolate and a whisper of coffee, nothing harsh, just comforting. It's the kind of porter that doesn't announce itself; it just sits there being genuinely pleasant, finishing clean without that typical dark-beer grip on your palate.
Pile O' Dirt Porter
Pile O' Dirt shows up with more presence. The extra ABV isn't hidden—you feel it in the fuller body and that slightly warming finish. There's real roasted grain character here, less finesse than NITRO but more substance. The bitterness is measured but noticeable; it frames the darker malt notes rather than overpowering them. It's a porter that tastes like it knows what it is.
