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.

A 12 oz bottle with a freshness date on the label. The beer poured a dark brown alomst pop like with tan head. The smell is a sweet vanilla and a slight malt. The taste is a nice mild vanilla, it is all most like drinking rootbeer. The carbonation and mouth feel are just like pop. Nice!

12 oz bottle. Pours a very dark brown, but not completely opague with a small head. You can definitely smell the vanilla along with some chocolate. Has a very drinkable taste.

Good, full bodied palate. Pleasant taste that transforms as the beer warms (becomes much hoppier as it apprached room temperature). Rather liked the vanilla essence that seems to me to be stronger when the beer is cold.

I guess I like this one a lot more than my peers. Aroma hints of the vanilla to come. Very dark with a large head. Taste is like a cream soda with malt. I was very impressed. I even let my wife try some.

Nice black pour with a puffy tan head. Aroma is nice and creamy with a subtle vanilla aroma. Some coffee as well. Flavor is loaded with vanilla. Very sweet and creamy flavor with some roasted chocolate malts and a slightly nutty finish. Really sweet finish and aftertaste.

Definitely a drinkable beer. The vanilla flavor was mild as was the smokiness that porters tend to have. Very smoothe goign down.

Breckenridge mixed pack. Pours copper with tan head. Aroma of light vanilla and chocolate. The vanilla is neither too strong nor too weak, there is enough to be noticed and create an amazing nose. Taste of vanilla with underlying touch of sweet lactose. Very smooth, light roasted malts, touch cocoa powder and chocolate. Leave this beer warm up and it becomes a great porter filled with outstanding vanilla mouthfeel.

A good job mixing hops and vanilla. The vanilla kicks off a good flavor but gets over powered.
