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 from Degarth, thank you. Poured black with no head. Aroma is present - vanilla, a kind of perfumy vanilla with a roasty background. Taste is like a hoppy-perfumy vanilla flavor. A bit thin for me, too watery of a feel. No substance to it.

12oz bottle-Dark brown almost black body with a nice tan head and an aroma of a pale lager with a slight hint of malt. Taste of vanilla with more vanilla and a hint of malt on the back end. A nice flavored porter.

12oz bottle. Dark brown w brown 2 inch head. Mild vanilla odor with decent lacing. Medium palate with heavy vanilla finish, almost too vanilla. Cola-like, malty. A so-so effort for a porter.

Pours dark black with reddish brown hues. Aroma of bread dough, toasted brown malt, and a hint of chocolate. Taste is brown malt, chocolate, and vanilla. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Not bad, but not impressed.

From a 12 oz. long neck brown bottle with an unnotched bottled on date. Made a average appearance, poured a Coke Cola brown with an foamy off-white head that quickly settled into a thin bubbly lacing, small amount of sticking, moderate carbonation. Had a big vanilla cake-like nose with a little lemony herbalness in the background. A semi-crisp, watery smooth medium bodied mouth feel, because of taste, below average drinkability. Started off with a nice cherry vanilla taste, followed by lemony herbal bitterness that lasts through the rest of the taste and for me, completely ruins the flavor of this porter, not much porter roastiness to help balance the taste and a sour lemony and herbal finish, by the end the vanilla flavor has disappeared. I was disappointed with porter, I was hoping for better, I couldn’t recommend it.

dark brown color with a thin body. aroma is sweet malts and metal. flavor is surprisingly mellow. i thought it was going to be a syrupy mess but, it turns out, it is quite mild. light coffee flavor with a hint of vanilla...almost an iced coffee. nice easy drinker...

Very dark brown in color, not much head but decent lacing left around the glass, didn’t get a whole lot from the nose, only a little toasted barley & a slight sweetness, the flavors though were very pronounced, the beer contained a lot of vanilla and cream flavors, with a slight hoppiness at the back end of the body, very smooth & light, which makes for easy drinking, the end of the flavors also provided a little milk chocolate & toasted malt, overall a very nice flavored porter

Bottle. Pours a deep brown-ruby with tan head with medium retention. Aroma was obvious vanilla with dark roast....flavor was the same, sweet with vanilla being dominate. Medium carbonation with medium body. Good porter!
