Honolulu Beerworks Poʻino Porter if you want a richer, more assertive malt presence,
Pablo Porter if you want something slightly cleaner and more approachable.
Both sit at nearly identical IBU and ABV levels, so the real difference is in how each brewery handles the roasted grain backbone. The 0.3% ABV gap is negligible, but Honolulu Beerworks' version carries noticeably more weight on the palate—you'll feel it work harder.

Honolulu Beerworks Poʻino Porter
Poʻino hits you with immediate cocoa and dark chocolate depth, the kind that coats your mouth and lingers. There's a subtle roasted grain edge that feels almost earthy, like burnt wood or charred coffee grounds underneath. It's not thin at 5.8%—the beer feels present, substantial. The finish has a slight drying quality that keeps you coming back for another sip rather than leaving you satisfied after one.
Pablo Porter
Pablo Porter drinks smoother, more straightforward. You get the roasted character without the aggressive edge—think milk chocolate over dark, coffee over espresso. It sits lighter despite being only 0.3% lower ABV, which tells you they're brewing for drinkability. The finish is cleaner, almost gentle, which makes this one dangerously easy to keep ordering.
