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.

12 oz bottle. Clear, very dark brown with a small beige head. Roasty choco-malt nose, vanilla and milk chocolate (read: cheap milk chocolate). An initial bitter bite trails off quickly, replaced by sweet milk chocolate and vanilla extract flavor. Body is firmly on the thin side, which kind of leaves an impression of Nestle Quik. Overall, I award this a resounding "eh".

Deep brown color with a slim, cream-colored skin & halo. Starts with a cream soda/root beer aroma which all but cover some roasty notes. A lot of vanilla in flavor with malts that taste sweet and pale rather than dark and roasted. Vibrant mouthfeel thins-out a mid-syrupy body, yet the finish hangs like a swallow of cough syrup. Weak coffee bitters in the aftertaste. Interesting.

Aroma is vanilla coke, bit of butterscotch and hazelnut. Body is black with ruby tinge, no real head on it. Taste is mildly sweet, with a bit of hazelnut, seems more like a brown then a porter because of the wateriness of it.

Dark brown pour with a fluffy tan head and drippy lace. Sweet malts and vanilla on the nose. Hazelnuts, chocolate malts upfront. Sweet vanilla finish almost lingers too long

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.
