Commercial Description:
Who would have thought deep in the jungles of Papua New Guinea and Madagascar grew the perfect ingredient to build an extraordinary Porter in Colorado? An ale that has all the chocolate and roasted nut flavor of a classic Porter, with an enigmatic surprise thrown in for good measure, real vanilla bean. Breckenridge Brewery’s Vanilla Porter. A vanilla kiss in a rich, dark sea.

This is one of the better vanilla flavored brews that I have tried.. maybe the fact it was a porter saved this beer. It was good but I will not reach for it in the future.

Dark brown pour with a fluffy tan head and drippy lace. Sweet malts and vanilla on the nose. Hazelnuts, chocolate malts upfront. Sweet vanilla finish almost lingers too long

Dark brown with beige head. Medium smoky roasted malt aroma. The vanilla is subtle. Roasted malt, semi-sweet chocolate flavor with a bit more bitterness than I anticipated (this is actually for the best). The vanilla hits in the middle-end of the taste and lingers. Can see how it could be a bit cloying, but I liked it. Medium body. Overall, an average porter, but the vanilla adds an interesting dimension. Not an everyday beer but for the right occasion, pretty decent.

Looks great in the glass, dark, barely translucent. Smells like a drunken Christmas cookie. Flavor leaves a lot to be desired, I was excited about this interesting brew, but a metallic alcohol taste is quickly followed by a cloying artificial vanilla taste. Try it once for the experience.
