Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Nova Runda Porter if you want a roasted, earthy-forward experience,
Stimalti Porter if you want smoother chocolate notes.
Both sit at identical specs—5.5% ABV, 33 IBU—so the real difference is in how each brewery balances their grain bill and roast intensity. At this proof point, either works as a session porter, but they're definitely not twins.

Nova Runda Porter
Nova Runda hits you with upfront roast—almost coffee-ground texture on the palate. There's a dryness that lingers, like you're getting the char of the malt without much sweetness to cushion it. The body is lean for a porter, which actually works in its favor at 5.5%. Finishes clean and a bit mineral, not cloying.
Stimalti Porter
Stimalti feels more indulgent right away—chocolate and cocoa powder come through first, with a subtle sweetness underneath. The roast is there but takes a backseat to the malt richness. Body is slightly fuller, creamier mouthfeel. Finishes warmer and rounder, less of that dry edge.
