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.

A very nice, well balanced porter. Pours very dark, almost black. Taste is smooth and very drinkable. Lighter than some porters, but I like that. Big thumbs up here!

From bottle by thebergeeks.com, thanks Chris. Dark Brownish Black like a stout, creamy brown non lasting top. Smells of choco and cherries. Tastes of choco, cherry, semi lasting smokey aftertaste.

Chocolate syrup coffee nose , hints of burnt toast. Black with a feint orange hue lurking beneath. Roasted malt, some liquorice, decent bitter balance. Huge carbonation, lightish medium body, fairly abrupt finish.. Pretty easy drinking, porter, not much depth, and overly carbonated.

This was a porter purchased in Blacksburg , Virginia. while visiting the kids. It was excellent. The coffee and chocolate like flavors were very evident. It had nice body and every drink was flavorful. The porter poured a deep black with thinish head. This is great every day porter. The finish was smooth with some roasted malt flavors.

i thought this had a really nice aroma of chocolate/coffee, has a nice subtle coffee taste, not a bad brew.

Crushed with Jakebra. Useless porter. Little poop on the nose. Little poop on the tongue. Honkeybra, no worries, I’ll never try to convince you of a awesome Boulder brew. Not offensive, but so boring it is offensive.

Pours a dark mahogany with a 2 finger brown paper bag head that leaves a little lacing as I go. Aroma is roast, chocolate, toasted grain, roast, weak espresso, and a bit of dark fruit. Flavor is old coffee, roasted nuts, cane sugar, roast, a tiny hint of char and some chocolate liquor. Finish is roasty and kind of metallic. Pretty light in body and flavor for the style but still not bad.
