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.

Pours dark brown with light brown to grey head. Nose has a surprising smoky roasty malt quality along with the vanilla. Flavor starts out with roasted flavors, some chocolate, but then just like a spicy food dish that builds in heat... the vanilla bitchslaps you in the face and doesn’t go away. It’s like I’m drinking one of those flavored coffees, but I prefer plain black coffee, and now I’m feeling used and abused.

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.

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.
