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.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a very dark brown - close to black - with a reddish hue and a small, beige head. Sweetish, roasted malt aroma. Medium body with lots of sweet, roasted malty flavours and loads of chocolate accents. Slightly burned finish with touches of aroma hops. A very pleasant brew. 060706

12oz bottle: pours dark with a long lasting brown head. heavy dark malt aroma, quite good and complex, but the flavor lacks something i’ve come to expect from a really good porter. still worth a whirl, quaffable.

bottle. Very dark red, near black with a tinny tan head on top. The aroma is strong of malts, predominately that of toffee, coffee, and chocolate. It seems there’s a bit of sour vegetation as well, though. It is a little awkward in flavor as well, finishing strongly of cola and a buttery note. The only thing that saves this are the more typical porter characteristics which hang around, though the bready notes aren’t bad either. This is not really a winner of a porter.

completely black color with medium tan head. the aroma reveals some black coffee, dark chocolate, and some molasses and toffee. The flavor consists of mild coffee, dark chocolate, and some toffee. theres also just a little carmel malt. kind of boring and has a flat soda palate.

Pours a dark brown with a small head. The aroma is malty, but mild. A bit of milk chocolate, no roast. A touch of molasses. The flavor is a little on the thin side and this definitely is a more traditional version of the porter. Easy drinking with low bitterness and no burnt malt flavors.
