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.

Dark brown, amber hues, no head. Interesting aroma. Sort of a burnt woody scent. Some chocolate malts. Ugh. Taste is a let down. Very burnt, chcoolate and smoked. semi-sweet chocolate at the finish.

Bottle at DIA - 04/06/12. Very dark brown approaching black with a thin tan head. Light roast malt nose allied to a little sweet chocolate. Chocolate taste, malts, dark fruit backdrop. Lightish body a little on the watery side, drinkable though.

Draft at Hangar. Pours dark brown with about a finger of off-white head. Aroma of roasty chocolate with a small dose of coffee. Taste is light bitter. Medium bodied with a somewhat thin texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, not bad. True to style but nothing really stands out.
