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.

I liked the balance of the flavor of the porter and the nuances of the vanilla...I would recommend this beer.

First time I have had a beer from Breckenridge. This was a very interesting porter. Mild, sweet aroma. The beer was incredibly sweet with a lot of vanilla to it. I loved the vanilla flavor, and I think it was something a lot of people would enjoy. Very sweet.

Smells a lot like a vanilla coke, not a bad th ing. Also a bit malty. Look is dark brown, orange highlights , minimal head. Speckly ’lacing.’ Palate has toasted notes, is nutty, hoppy, I like that the vanilla is understated. Not bad. Got it at Wegman’s in State College PA, variety pack.

Very light aroma of vanilla and cherry. Pours clear, dark reddish brown, with a medium off white head and decent glass coating. Earthy, mossy flavor, but not strong. Faint vanilla and hop finish. There are some good flavors with this beer, but someone needs to turn up the volume a bit and bring them out more. It’s just a little weak.

Thanks to Degarth for this. Pours dark brown thin tan head. Awesome tasting beer sure it’s on the thin side but to me that means I could drink this everyday, just an awesome sweet chocolate taste, some espresso, cocoa, but mostly a sweet milk chocolate, I guess from the vanilla touch but the vanilla isn’t there.

Deep brown with a small head.Can see light through the glass. Rich vanilla and chocolate aroma. Rich vanilla and chocolate taste. Vanilla and a bit of grassy hops and roasted nuts. I really like vanilla. I’ve even liked it in some dark beers. But this seems like a bit much.

Bubbly brown in color with nice foamy off-white head. Smells somewhat of burnt malt but mostly just generic vanilla and malt tones. Flavor is strange vanilla cocoa. Really becomes a hard beer to drink as the flavor is just unenjoyable and overly vanilla. Mouthfeel is average - a hint on the thin side.

Overall Impression: Have had this one quite a few times over the years, and I use to like this beer more, but something about it didn’t work the last few times I had it, maybe too sweet? I’m not sure exactly.
