Taste the Difference: Connor’s Launches New Stout Porter Xtra Malt

Big bottle. Rich flavour. Easy to drink. A new way to enjoy stout.

Connor’s has introduced Connor’s Stout Porter Xtra Malt, a bold new variant that brings a bigger format and a richer taste to stout lovers across Malaysia. Presented in a 640ml bottle, this brew is crafted with four premium malts and an extra measure of malt for added depth. At 5% ABV, it strikes a balance between being full-bodied and smooth, offering proof that stout can carry plenty of flavour while still being highly drinkable. Designed for sharing, it’s well suited for lively nights, cheerful toasts, and gatherings with friends. It also works remarkably well with a wide range of foods, making it a great choice at local hawker centres.

Olga Pulyaeva, Marketing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia, explained, “Connor’s Stout Porter Xtra Malt is the brand’s first-ever quart bottle, created in response to what our consumers have been asking for: a richer, smoother stout made for sharing. With its extra malty punch, roasted coffee aroma and caramel finish, it delivers rich flavour while remaining easy to enjoy. This is how Connor’s continues to innovate, courageously pushing boundaries and delivering a premium stout experience that matters to today’s drinkers.”

LAUNCHING THE FIRST QUART BOTTLE

To mark the arrival of Connor’s Stout Porter Xtra Malt, the brand hosted a lively launch event at 7Ate9 Café. Set against the backdrop of a coffeeshop-inspired venue – a familiar part of Malaysian culture where friends meet and conversations flow – the evening highlighted the sociable character of this new stout. Guests enjoyed live music, exciting giveaways, and an abundance of Connor’s Stout Porter Xtra Malt. Food pairings were curated to match the brew’s malty, smooth and flavourful character, from smoky meats to savoury bites, creating a complete experience in a modern setting.

Samantha Chong, owner of 7Ate9 Café, said, “What excites me most is seeing how Connor’s Stout Porter Xtra Malt has quickly caught on with our guests. They are pleasantly surprised with how smooth and easy to enjoy it is. Paired with smoky grilled meats or spicy dishes, it has become a natural fit for the Malaysian way of dining — where good food and great company always come together.”

A STOUT MADE FOR SHARING

Connor’s Stout Porter Xtra Malt is now being sampled at coffeeshops and food courts nationwide, giving people across Malaysia a chance to try it first-hand. The launch connects both long-time stout enthusiasts and curious first timers, demonstrating that this brew delivers enough richness for the loyalists while remaining approachable enough to attract new drinkers.

With its larger bottle, smooth texture and bold malty flavour, Connor’s Stout Porter Xtra Malt aims to lift the stout experience for all. Already available at coffeeshops, food courts and restaurants, it is crafted for those willing to embrace something more and enjoy a new expression of stout.
