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.

Dark in colour and poured with good head. Very large range of flavours. Chocolate and vanilla taste that has a lasting aftertaste. Different and enjoyable

Who would have concieved deep in your mind that 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 an extroadinary Porter, with an enigmatic electrical surprise tossed in for good measure, real genuine vanilla bean. It has a vanilla kiss in a fantastically rich, dark sea. I dedicate this beer to zack and cat, may they have many good years of marriage untill they grow sick and tired of each other and die old and grouchy together.

I’m suprised this isn’t rated higher by most. I’m not a fan of this brewer, but glad I picked this up. Aroma of coffee withjust a hint of chocolate. Pour was perfect...a dark deep brown with a 2 finger off white head that stayed for most of the beer. The taste was NOTHING like the aroma. Very sweet and full. Full on vanilla and malt with a hint of coffee/chocoalate mid gulp. Nice and creamy mouthfeel. Nothing like I’ve had from them before! Good job!

Great looking beer! Deep brown nearly black with medium froathy tan head. Aroma is vanilla and roasted malt...smells like a bakery. The roasted malt is very good (burnt taste) however I feel the vanilla interferes with it... very buttery. Definitely not a drinker but a dessert. Good winter brew...very rich.

Bottle sampled. Pours a deep brown with a light tan head. Aroma of vanilla, molasses, and coffee with a sweet and creamy flavor of vanilla, caramel, and some chocolate notes. A very good porter.

Dark brown body with a small tan head. Vanilla, sweet malty aroma. Smooth vanilla flavor - just a little trace of chocolate malt. Not much distinguishing in the aftertaste.

bottle. color is light cola brown, but when held to light reveals a more ruby shade. a short frothy tan head caps it off. some much vanilla on the nose it’s hard to smell anything else. a soft smooth and velevety ale with a pleasant sweetness and character from the vanilla. some light cocolate shows up but overall this lacks the heavy robustness i look for in porters.
