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.

sweet malty body with a light coffee aroma and hazelnut flavor. Faint brown head with light head. A vaguely lactic flavor but otherwise standard for a porter.

One of my favorites after I started really getting into porter’s. I’ve had a few bad ones out here in CO but this one is a winner. After a few you need something else which like stouts I think is a good sign. Robust flavor yet very good mouthfeel. Not to strong but it does the trick.

(Bottle). Sweet, slightly roasty aroma. Dark brown body, small head. Taste is thin, mild, a touch sweet, some fruitiness. Unimpressive finish.

12 ounce bottle, pours a deep brown with a short lasting creamy head. iIce coffee taste at the first sip but the taste that lingers in your mouth is the roasted malt, almost bordering on burt. Would not buy again
