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.

The label of the Breckenridge Vanilla Porter (bottle) reads, "remarkable" and "partakable." I’d say that’s fair. It might have been a little thin, not quite as much roast as other porters, but that vanilla was so tasty. Of course, the vanilla is a little divisive, but this beer was an unexpected smash hit for me.

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.

Pours a deep deep mahogany. Caramel and vanilla nose. Intense vanilla flavor, and that is a good thing. It seems just right. Very smooth and palatable. My favorite vanilla porter.

This beer has a very nice/ coffee vanilla smell as well as taste that is apparent immediately. Dark appearance with no head to speak. Not as thick as I expected, roasted nut aftertaste Overall, a good beer. I would get this again

It had a spare head. The color was black. There was a vanilla and chocolate taste and smell. The beer had a nice smooth finish.
