Dark Beers: the Selection to Discover on Offer from October 2
Dark beers are autumn’s most intense and surprising side. Behind a deep color lies more than one experience: you can find a dry, roasted Stout, a smooth chocolate Porter, an easy-drinking Schwarzbier, or a rich Imperial Stout to share.
From October 2, Maltese is offering a selection of dark beers on promotion with discounts of up to 30%. It’s the right time to choose new bottles, build a tasting, and discover which style is right for you.

Which dark beer should you choose?
Stout: coffee, cocoa, and character
Stout is the choice for those who love roasted malts. A Dry Stout is dry and straightforward, while a Milk Stout is creamier and smoother. Imperial Stout, on the other hand, offers substantial body and intensity: pour it slowly and share it after dinner.
Porter: balanced and enveloping
Porter often offers notes of chocolate, biscuit, and coffee, but with a rounder and more approachable drinkability. It’s a great match for burgers, smoked foods, and aged cheeses, but it also pairs beautifully with a cocoa dessert.
Schwarzbier: dark, but surprisingly smooth
Not all dark beers are dense or highly alcoholic. Schwarzbier combines the character of roasted malts with a clean, light drinkability: try it if you’re looking for a dark beer that also suits an aperitif or an informal dinner.
Imperial Stout and sipping beers
When you want a beer to savor slowly, choose the more structured interpretations. These are ideal bottles for the end of the evening and for pairing with dark chocolate, coffee desserts, blue cheeses, or nuts.
Three pairings to try this autumn
- Dry Stout and burgers: the roastiness contrasts with the meat’s juiciness and cleanses the palate.
- Porter and aged cheeses: the notes of cocoa and caramel complement the savory flavors.
- Imperial Stout and dark chocolate: an intense pairing, perfect for ending the meal.
Take advantage of the dark beer promotion
The promotion starting October 2 is a great opportunity to move beyond your usual choices. Start with a smoother dark beer, add a Porter, and finish with a more substantial Stout: you’ll have a mini autumn tasting ready to open.
