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.

Decent solid porter, however lacks in the Vanilla taste which is what i was expecting. At the price of this at my local gas station (9.50) i probably wont buy again over better porters i’ve had at a much more reasonable price, but i was glad to have tasted it. breckenridge continutes to be a decently solid brewery

Bottled. Pours a nice mahogany brown with some ruby highlights. Small tan film on top and not much lacing. Mild aroma of coffee, toasted malt and vanilla. Decent flavour, thin mouthfeel, maybe a little "chemically" tasting with the vanilla.

Pours black with red-brown hues and a small tan head, some lacing. Weird warm malty aroma with banana, vanilla. Quick hit of alcohol even though it is only 4.7% then a quickly receding flavor of smoke, vanilla and, caramel. Leaves a undesired aftertaste hindering my yearning to keep drinking. Altogether not bad.

Bottle. Poured a deep clear black with almost no head, sans for a small layer of film on top. Nose is mild coffee, mild chocolate, mild malt and just a hint of vanilla, though you really have to search. Palate is much the same – mild everything - though the vanilla comes through nicely in the finish, especially as it warms. Nice creamy mouth feel with ok lacing. A decent “niche” porter.

The beer pours a dark brown to a black with a thin brown white head. The nose is a mix of Carmel coffee and vanilla. The taste is as deep as the beer is dark it is a great mix of roasted malts and an underpinning of vanilla with a clean sweet vanilla finish.

Pours a dark brown with a thick tan head, looks like a cola soda. Aroma has a slight hint of vanilla with a touch of malt. Taste is creamywith vanilla, roasted malt, coffee. A nice porter. Flavor is a little thin.

Bottle. Pours a dark red-brown with a thin, creamy, tan head. Taste is of caramel, roasted malt and vanilla. The aroma is the same, except the vanilla really shines through. Pretty easy to drink as it is smooth, but it was at its best when it was ice cold. Overall, this is not a bad seasonal brew, but for the money I’d rather go with something else.

Pours a cloudy darkish brown with a hint of red, I suppose you can call that amber. Smells smooth and slightly sour.Tastes just like it, too! Nice vanilla, though subtle. Decent malty flavor. For some reason, I can really taste the alcohol. Good thing it has low content.
