AdminConnor’s has taken a bold step forward in the Malaysian stout market with the launch of Connor’s Stout Porter Xtra Malt, its first-ever quart bottle brewed for sharing. The new variant, presented in a distinctive 640ml bottle, is crafted with a unique blend of four premium malts, delivering extra punch and depth while maintaining a smooth, easy-to-drink finish. At 5% ABV, it is proof that a stout can be rich in flavour without weighing heavy on the palate.
A milestone for Connor’s innovation
Marking a significant milestone, the launch introduces not only a new variant but also a new format aimed at stout lovers seeking a richer communal experience. Olga Pulyaeva, Marketing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia, highlighted the thinking behind the move.
“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,” she said.
A celebration in the heart of local culture
The unveiling was celebrated at 7Ate9 Café, a venue that embraces the quintessential Malaysian coffeeshop spirit where friends gather and conversations flow. The launch event featured live music, giveaways, and curated food pairings, designed to enhance the malty, roasted character of the stout.
Samantha Chong, owner of 7Ate9 Café, observed the excitement from her guests.
“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,” she said.
