Nova Runda Porter if you want a cleaner, more approachable dark beer,
Pablo Porter if you want something with more texture and depth.
Both sit at an identical 5.5% ABV and 33 IBU, so the difference isn't about strength or bitterness—it's about how each brewery interprets the porter style. These are two brewers working from the same blueprint but adding their own touch to the roast and malt balance.

Nova Runda Porter
Nova Runda Porter drinks like a well-lit room—you can see all the details. There's a straightforward chocolate note that doesn't get too heavy, and the roast stays crisp without that ashy overburn some porters lean into. It's the kind of beer that tastes good on its own but won't overpower food. Finishes clean, which is the real tell here.
Pablo Porter
Pablo Porter has a heavier hand with the grain. You get that deeper, almost coffee-like character that coats your mouth in a way Nova Runda doesn't quite reach. It's less about brightness and more about presence—there's a slight sweetness underneath that suggests a different malt bill or longer conditioning time. This one rewards sitting with it.
