Breckenridge Vanilla Porter

12 oz bottle. Pours a very dark brown, but not completely opague with a small head. You can definitely smell the vanilla along with some chocolate. Has a very drinkable taste.

This was much better than the last time I had it. Bottle from Cortez, CO. Buttery mouthfeel and slight flavor of same. I have been drinking Polish Baltic Porters of late so the absence of copper in the palate is very welcome with this guy. Milk chocolate and vanilla round out - this would be boss if it had any coffee to it. Room temperature a must. Note to nbutler11: no, I didn’t inflate this rating just to put Breck’s average score well over 3.0.

Bottle. Poured a black color with a two finger tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and vanilla. Very sweet vanilla to the taste. I didn’t like this initially, but it grew on me after a while. Decent beer.

Bottle -> Imperial pint glass. Great aroma: sweet and malty. Pours a deep, rich mahogany, with a 1/2 to 3/4 inch khaki head, which disappears perhaps quicker than a porter head should. Zero lacing to speak of. The vanilla is successfully infused with the chocolate, caramel, nut, and malt notes, producing a roasted sweetness. The body is a thin-medium, with an oily slickness as it rolls off the tongue and down the hatch.

Nice aroma and a decent look to it, not alot of foam. It was refreshing but even though they say that they use real vanilla bean it kind of has a finish of vanilla extract to it.

Bottle. Pours a black coffee color with a thin tan head. Nose has some vanilla notes and has a sweetness to it. The vanilla became even more distant on the palate but the sweetness mellowed the overall deep roasted qualities of the brew. Although I am not a dark beer person, I have been liking those that are flavored and this was no different. Nice beer. Thanks to thiesti for this bottle.

Poured a very dark brown with an off white head. Aroma was pretty bland, but i picked out some chocolate and vanilla, and roasted malts. Flavor was also pretty bland, nothing sticks out here, but no off flavors either, just so so average porter.

This started out with a nice aroma of vanilla and chocolate. Pours jet black with a very thin head. Starts out with barely any taste and slowly near the end a dark chocolate roasted taste starts to come through. Smooth mouth feel. The vanilla really isn’t overwhelming at all.
