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.

Pours a dark brown that allows a lot of light. Doesn’t look like a porter. Head is a finger thick and tan. The nose is weird, old, English smelling, sweet, smells like a brown ale, musty. The flavor is papery, shows some peanut shell, tastes like an old oxidized brown ale, mild sweetness. Palate is smooth

Aroma is nicely roasty, coffee. Poures a nice dark brown. Flavor is nice, roasted malt and cofee. Palate is medium bodied and nicely lingering. Overall, I like it.

I was surprised the pizza place I went to yesterday had a decent selection of taps including this. Dark black with brown edges and a short white head. Smelled slightly roasty. The taste was a nice mix of roast and malt. Mouthfeel was great and I could have drank a couple more but I had things to do. Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 01-28-2008 15:35:04

12 oz. Opaque black with a small but lasting disc of foam. Aroma of caramel, chocolate, coffee and char. Flavor is the same with a nice dry finish of more char and coffee. Medium body is smooth and drinkably watery with a dry finish.

12oz bottle from The Party Source. Dark brown pour with a medium tan head. Malty aroma of molasses and chocolate. Potato (yes, potato) flavor up front with a malty chocolate finish. Not sure about this one.

Very dark porter. Tatsed a bit like burnt coffee. More earthy than I would like. Very flavorful but not in a way I enjoyed.

Almost black. Tan quickly descending head. Chocolate and bakery type smell. Semisweet chocolate taste along with a little bit of bitterness. The finish goes up on the bitterness a little bit. Creamy texture. Roasted malts predominate.
