How it's used
Borrowed directly from the English term porter, this word is used specifically to refer to the dark, roasted style of beer. It is most commonly heard in pubs or bars that specialize in craft beers rather than in general casual conversation. Because it is a loanword, it is often used interchangeably with the broader term 黑啤.
