porter

Porter is a dark beer with smooth roasted flavours such as chocolate, caramel and a hint of coffee. It has a full but accessible body and a balanced bitterness. Perfect for lovers of dark beers that are not too heavy.

stout

Stouts are more powerful and have more intense roasted flavours, such as coffee and dark chocolate. With often a higher alcohol content and full-bodied flavour, this beer is ideal for those who like deep and complex beers.

differences

While both styles share their roasted flavour profiles, Porter tends to be softer and lighter than Stout. Stouts often have more powerful bitterness and more intense flavours, especially in variants such as the Imperial Stout.

conclusion

Whether you choose a Porter or a Stout, both beers offer a unique and rich taste experience. Discover your favourite by tasting them for yourself.
