Mar 30, 2006 Dark brown body, thin light tan head. Roasted malt aroma with strong vanillin. Strong artificial vanilla flavor which I liken to the creme filling in Cadbury eggs. I love Cadbury eggs, but I’m not exactly blown away by that flavor in a beer. Otherwise chocolatey. Still, a pretty good sipper.

May 14, 2007 (bottle - 12 oz) Nice black pour with a puffy tan head. Aroma is nice and creamy with a subtle vanilla aroma. Some coffee as well. Flavor is loaded with vanilla. Very sweet and creamy flavor with some roasted chocolate malts and a slightly nutty finish. Really sweet finish and aftertaste.

Aug 12, 2006 Bottle. Pours a pitch black body with a small off-white head. The aroma is pleasantly rich with piquant vanilla, some toast, and bittersweet chocolate. Bitterness is abundant from the start in a rich, smooth, and sticky body. Lots of chocolate towards the end with raw vanilla strewn in. Quite nice.

May 27, 2006 Bleh, a failed attempt from Breckenridge. Light roast and wood in the nose, with only a hint of vanilla gave me a false first impression, as the flavor is dominated by caramel and vanilla, with a touch of chocolate. It becomes very candy-barish after awhile. Empty finish, virtually no hop flavors or bitterness. Nice garnet color with abig tan head and fair lacing.

Apr 10, 2006 The pour brings a dark brown almost balck liquid with a very faint reddish hue with held to a light. Nice tan head on the beer. Aromas is creamy roasted vanilla beans with a bit of oak. The porter taste starts iwth a light smooth roasted flavor and then gives way to lots of vanilla bean taste. At this point it almost gives the impression that it has been oak aged. The finish has a nice light hop bitterness, but the taste that stays with you is the creamy vanilla flavor. Very nice beer.

Aug 14, 2008 Tall off white head over a clear, dark brown body.
Roast malt with a hint of vanilla.
Lightly sweet with no hop bitterness. Vanilla is weak.
A bit thin.
Not bad, but it could have been much more.

Jan 15, 2007 bottle - Pours very dark brown with a thin head. Roasted malts and vanilla are present in the light aroma and more-so in the flavor. Smooth and medium bodied, it has ample vanilla flavor. While quite good, it could have used a little stronger roast malt backbone.
