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.

Tap: Nice coffee and nutty arouma but the taste and body fall way short. Watery, thin and finishes dry and astringent.

Tap at the Denver Airport tap house. Dark, dark brown...almost black. Creamy beige head that sticks around forever and coasts the glass. Cocoa nose. Taste is roasty...coffee and smoke. Palate is kind of weak.

Dark brown with an average tan head. Caramel, chocolate malt with a hint of roasting chestnuts. Taste smooth for a traditional porter.

A beautiful black pour with red highlights and a frothy tan head. A malty caramel and chocolate aroma with traces of coffee. It has a creamy texture with medium sweetness. It has a smooth chocolate mixed with light coffee and a hint of bitterness in the finish.

Pours a dark brown with a beige head that fades to a ring. Malty nose some roasted malts and cola. Dry earthy chocolate and roasted malts that have an odd finish. Slightly bitter but not that good and not interesting at all.

Pours mahogany-tinged black into a shaker. Mocha head quickly recedes leaving scant sheets. Mild carob aromas. Smooth and light with mild chocolate and smoke and an abrupt, watery finish.
