Commercial Description:
Planet Porter is a big beer for everyone. Don't be afraid of the dark; this beer is very drinkable and remarkably smooth, brewed for a malty, coffee-like flavor. A once almost extinct style of ale, Boulder Brewing helped revive the category and this is now one of the oldest American porters.

Smooth. Not too thick. Not as heavy as I would like a dark beer of this type to be. Okay.

Big blast of chocolatey malts is pleasant initially, but lacks any roasty edge or hop bite. One is nice, but a bit boring.

The aroma is heavy with chocolate and brown sugar, there is also yeast and cream in there as well. The appearance is dark brown with a medium tan head. The flavor has vegetables as well as coffee and burnt malt but almost no chocolate.The palate is smooth but not as thick as it should be. I am not crazy about this porter.

Decent milk chocolate colored head. Pretty dense. Nice roasty aroma with some dark chocolate, roasted grains and a hint of mild coffee. Color is a very dark coffee brown. Thin watery body but has a decent amount of flavor. Bitter coffee, roasted grains and more bittersweeet chocolate. Slight chalky palate and pretty dry. An ok porter but pretty weak.

Pour is jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is mild chocolate with some coffee in there. Flavor is so-so for a porter. Some coffee and chocolate show up but it is very subpar. Still this is decent for sipping on, not just the best i have ever had.

Dark chocolate color. I found it highly carbonated, but others here have disagreed... Mildly bitter to start, ending with a nicely sweet aftertaste. Very smooth, very drinkable.
