Aldaris Porteris if you want classic Baltic restraint,
Peregrine Porter if you want modern American boldness.
Both clock in at nearly identical proof and bitterness, but they're reading from different playbooks—one's a heritage pour from Riga, the other's a Brooklyn-influenced take on the style. The ABV gap is negligible; the character gap is real.

Aldaris Porteris
Aldaris hits you with that distinctive Baltic thing: roasted grain without heaviness, a whisper of licorice, and a dryness that feels almost austere. There's chocolate in there, but it's restrained, like they're holding back on purpose. The body is lean for a porter—almost elegant—and it finishes clean, which means you'll want another one.
Peregrine Porter
Peregrine comes across richer and more indulgent, with darker chocolate and coffee tones that actually linger. There's a subtle sweetness underneath that Aldaris doesn't have—not cloying, but present. It feels bigger on the palate even at the same ABV, with a slightly creamy mouthfeel that suggests a different grain bill or mash approach.
