Pablo Porter if you want chocolate-forward warmth,
Stimalti Porter if you want roast-driven structure.
Both sit at an identical 5.5% ABV and 33 IBUs, so the split is really about malt expression versus roasted grain character. Pablo leans into cocoa and caramel sweetness, while Stimalti digs into coffee and burnt toast complexity. Neither dominates—it's a matter of which direction your palate's leaning tonight.

Pablo Porter
Pablo Porter hits you with immediate chocolate and mild coffee on the nose, but the sip is where it gets interesting—there's a real cocoa sweetness that sits on your tongue without being cloying. The body feels almost creamy for a 5.5% porter; it's got enough substance to feel substantial but finishes clean. No harsh edges, just a comfortable porter that tastes like someone actually cared about the malt bill.
Stimalti Porter
Stimalti Porter opens with deeper roast and a hint of smoke, and that character follows through the entire drink. It's drier than you'd expect at this ABV, which gives it a slightly bracing quality—the kind of porter that feels like it's got backbone. There's definitely coffee and dark grain in the finish, and it lingers just a bit longer than Pablo. This one rewards you for paying attention.
