Breckenridge Vanilla Porter

What is with thisbeer. Bottle from variety pack. Nice Sour malt aroma, Dark Brown but pretty clear, great head that holds and lacing. The Vanilla is not prevelant at all, but the full impact with lots of malt and really like a Sour,. . I read the other reiews but I don’t get vanilla at all, so maybe it is aging. ??????

Pours a nice deep ruby with brown highlights, a nice creamy 2 finger tan head. Aroma is chocolate, light roast, vanilla, sweet roasted nuts, and a touch of toffee. Flavor is pretty over the top on vanilla, theres a little roast in there, coffee, some waxy milk chocolate. Finish is awkwardly chalky and sweet with a very vanilla rum like base. Not so good, worse than I remember. Body is medium and oily

Black in color with a medium sized tan head. Aroma is of chocolate and vanilla bean. Flavor is of coffee and vanilla.

Lots and lots of vanilla. Unfortunately, not much else. It was good at first, but the more I drank the less I liked it. Needs some more dimension.

Black pour with substantial tan head. Malts and vanilla toasted flavors with some coffee going down. Sweet aftertaste, nice overall.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours an inky black with a thin tan head. Light aroma, of burnt malt and vanilla beans. Big taste, lots of vanilla extract, burnt malt, and hints of coffee and chocolate. Lingering sweet and spicy vanilla flavors. Decent.

I think that this beer is exactly what you think it’s going to be going into it. The only thing that I have to add to all of these ratings is that this finished like metallic butterscotch pudding.

Pint at Denver pub 10/12/2008. Slight smokiness and vanilla hints in aroma. Dark amber brown with small tan head. Nice vanilla bean flavor and roast up front. Medium body and mouthfeel. Finish is fairly dry and slightly astringent.
