NITRO HOKUM if you want nitrogen-smoothed richness and modern craft technique,
Störtebeker Hanse-Porter if you want traditional German restraint.
Both sit at an almost identical 4–4.4% and 33 IBUs, but the nitro tap changes everything about mouthfeel. DEYA's version feels like drinking velvet; Störtebeker tastes like what a proper Baltic porter should've always been—honest, dry, no tricks.

NITRO HOKUM
The nitrogen cascade is immediate—tiny bubbles create this creamy, almost sweet opening that coats your mouth in a way regular carbonation never does. Dark chocolate and roasted grain follow, but they're soft, almost muted by all that smoothness. There's a subtle coffee undertone that emerges as it warms, nothing aggressive. It's a sipping beer, not a gulping one—the low ABV makes sense here because you'll nurse this.
Störtebeker Hanse-Porter
This pours thin for a porter, and that's intentional. Störtebeker goes for the old-school German approach: restrained, slightly bitter finish, almost tea-like tannins. You get leather and dark bread instead of chocolate. The 33 IBUs show themselves late, cutting through cleanly. It's dry in a way that makes you want the next sip, not satisfied after one.
