Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Coco Loco Porter if you want chocolate and coconut sweetness hitting first,
Simcoe Porter if you want pine and citrus hop character to lead.
Both sit at nearly identical ABV and IBU, so the choice really hinges on whether you're craving dessert vibes or a more assertive, resinous edge. NoDa's playing comfort; Noordt's playing complexity.

Tasting notes
Coco Loco Porter
Coco Loco opens with actual coconut—not artificial, not subtle. There's a creamy malt backbone that feels almost like chocolate mousse, then that tropical note cuts through. The 6.2% sneaks up quietly; you don't feel the alcohol at all. It's the kind of porter you drink when you want to feel cozy, not challenged.
Simcoe Porter
Simcoe's got that classic American hop punch right from the nose—pine, grapefruit zest, a slight herbal snap. The malt underneath is leaner, more structured, which lets those hops breathe. At 6.5%, there's a fraction more body and warmth, making it feel intentional rather than accidental. This one demands attention.
