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.

overall it’s actually not a bad beer. i wouldn’t drink it on a daily basis but it’s better than nothing.

Dark brown in color with an ok head. I got some of the vanilla in the smell but not a whole lot in the taste. Some coffee and a little chocolate in the aroma and taste as well.

bottle-mahogony red with a very small beige head. looks thin and light to be a porter really. big vanilla bean, char and chocolate notes emit from my glass. flavors are abundantly vanilla and taste somewhat artificial. body is very weak, lacking any real substance. very one dimensional and weak. Try again Breckenridge.

Clear dark brown, creamy light tan head. A soft nose of caramel, vanilla, mild chocolate, coffee, and toast. Flavor up front is all about French vanilla tones that are softly backed by more notes of chocolate, toast, coffee, and caramel. Medium bodied, soft smooth carbonation, vanilla-laden finish. Not nearly as bad as the average score here indicates. Best suited for breakfast time in my book...

12 oz bottle. I really enjoyed this beer. Lots of dark roasty malts. Nose of chocolate and lots of vanilla. Flavor was similar. Very smooth mouthfeel with more vanilla and some caramel on the final swallow. Good.

Another nice beer from Breckenridge. Pours a deep dark brown colour with a full vanilla head. Nutty, roasted malts, cinnamon and vanilla in the aroma. Mouthfeel is genuinely creamy, well balanced. Taste is enticing, sweet, not too sweet- vanilla, hints of coffee, toffee and butterscotch.

Bottle. Pours very dark garnet with beige head and bubbles on the side of the glass. The aroma is some vanilla and faint coffee, with a bit of milk chocolate. In the flavor the vanilla is not subtle at all. Vanilla beans everywhere. There are some smooth malt flavors in there, too, a la a regular porter, but it’s mostly vanilla. This is a very drinkable beer, but I would like the vanilla toned down some.

Black pour with a moderate sized light tan head, decent lacing and retention. Aroma is vanilla with light chocolate and caramel. Medium to light body with a caramel/vanilla type sweet finish. Another vanilla bomb.
