Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Stimalti Porter if you want restraint and balance,
Sucker Punch Porter if you want heft and presence.
Both sit at nearly identical IBUs, so bitterness won't separate them—it's really about body and alcohol warmth. That half-percent ABV difference matters less than Stimalti's leaner malt backbone versus Sucker Punch's roasted density. Pick based on whether you're in the mood for a porter that gets out of its own way or one that announces itself.

Stimalti Porter
Stimalti Porter drinks like someone actually thought about proportion. The roast is there—dark chocolate, bit of coffee char—but it doesn't overwhelm. You get clean bitterness at the finish without that lingering burn. At 5.5%, it's almost sessionable for a porter, which means you can taste the restraint without feeling like they underseasoned it. This is a porter for when you want the genre without the commitment.
Sucker Punch Porter
Sucker Punch Porter hits different. Fuller in the mouth, noticeably more roasted grain character, the kind that coats your palate and lingers. That extra half-percent of alcohol gives it warmth you feel on the swallow. The bitterness matches Stimalti's, but here it feels more integrated into a heavier whole. This is a porter that wants you to pay attention—richer, more textured, less likely to disappear between sips.
