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, solid beer. Pours a clear brown color with a half finger thick off white head. Light lacing. Light roasted malt aroma. The vanilla comes through nicely in the flavor. A smooth, light to medium body beer. Nice beer.

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!

This started out with a nice aroma of vanilla and chocolate. Pours jet black with a very thin head. Starts out with barely any taste and slowly near the end a dark chocolate roasted taste starts to come through. Smooth mouth feel. The vanilla really isn’t overwhelming at all.

Pours a dark brown color with a medium brown head. Aroma of malt, chocolate, and vanilla. Tastes of malts, chocolate, roasted nuts, vanilla, some coffee and maple notes. Very nice overall.

Poured a beautiful dark brown with a nice off-white head. Smelled of dark malts and vanilla. The taste was, as expected, vanilla. It was really smooth, the taste was great. You can’t always be sure when you see ’vanilla’ but Breckenridge made good use of the flavor. Thick and creamy in the mouth, went down smooth. Very drinkable. Pour me another, please. Serving type: on-tap

12oz bottle at home on January 2, 2009. When I first poured this I thought there was no head. Funny, I thought I remembered head. Well, the head seemed to miraculously form after I poured. Must say something about itself. Not impressive at first, but it really grows on you. Its color is a thick, deep dark brown with a brown glow. Thin, bubbly lacing and an aroma that reminds me of something baking in the kitchen. Flavor also reminds me of baked goods. Vanilla not overpowering, but the addition of the standard roasted, nutty, and cocoa flavors make this a neat, and different beer. A little sweet at times, but definitely not overdone. Well-balanced. Thin, but with a bold finish.
