What is the best dark ale on the planet?

Locally, I like Okanagan Spring Porter. 8% alc/vol dark ale, tastes like a Belgian ale.

What's your favourite?

My favorite would be Gouden Carolus Cuvee Van De Keizer. It is quite hard to find but is easily the best beer I have ever tasted. It also has the highest rating on http://www.ratebeer.com

If nothing else do yourself a favour and find this beer and try for yourself. If you like beer, and particullary if you like Belgian beers this is the best that Belgium has to offer.

Different people have different things they pick up in taste and smell. There is a lot of variation in these senses.

Personally, I like porters and stouts with a sort of licorice flavor to them. My husband doesn't get licorice out of them at all.

Russian Imperial Ale is great.

My all-time favorite would have to be Kostritzer, a German Black Lager. It may be hard to find depending on your location but worth the drive.

The superlative is in the mouth of the beholder. Please check out the Beer Advocate website (http://www.beeradvocate.com) for lots of helpful reviews.

Personal favorites (at this moment): the Yeti by the Great Divide Brewing Company, Rogue brewery's Chocolate Stout, and Xingu from Brazil.
