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.

Bottle into pint glass, A GREAT vnailla character, though a bit too much for more tha once 12 oz. Really nice on the whole if you are a vanilla fan.

This beer is a pretty good porter, but it’s not as good as you want it to be. It does not make the best use of its vanilla flavor, and it doesn’t have too many other standout characteristics about it. Above average, but not earth shattering.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is of dark roast malts and light vanilla, and quite sweet. Flavor is of medium chocolate with a slight vanilla aftertaste. Interesting beer; well done.

Courtesy of markwise. Pours up brown with copper hues and tan head. The aroma is sweet with molasses and prunes. Nice mixture here to create a pleasing aromatic. The taste is chocolate and vanilla revealing a deasert type experience with some roast and mild prune fruity goodness in the background. Very nice tasting brew.

Bottle courtesy of markwise. Pours a dark cola brown with thin white head. Aroma is sweet and malty with notes of light vanilla, roast, ripe dark fruit, some hints of caramel and coffee. Flavor is sweet and malty with notes of vanilla, caramel, ripe fresh fruit, chocolate, hints of brown sugar and honey. Generally medium body with a pleasing malty finish.

Big thanks to adamharbaugh for this one- I have been anxious to try this one. Pours cola brown with a small off-white head. Nose is roast, vanilla, and slight coffee. Flavor is similar with some sticky vanilla sweetness. Nice mellow porter that is complemented and not overtaken by vanilla. Medium bodied and pretty good overall. Very partakable.

Pours a very dark brown color with a decent tan head that never left. THere were sheets of lace left behind from the head making this a very attractive beer. Smells of raosted malt are most noticeable. There are also hints of sweet vanilla and a tad chocolate. The flavor is mostly the same, but not very outstandish. Almost cloyingly sweet from the overload of vanilla. It has a rather thin mouthfeel.
