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.

This stuff is decent. The mouthfeel’s a little thin, the vanilla is present, which is nice, but not that amazing.

I thought I was a vanilla fan so I decided to try this brew. It turns out that I’m not THAT much of a vanilla fan. Aroma and taste are overpowered by the vanilla, it’s rather creamy with a roasty malt aftertaste, but the vanilla is a hint too much. It’s not necessarily bad, but I wouldn’t drink more than one or two.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a frothy tan head that laces the glass. Roasted malt, chocolate, and vanilla aromas. Roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla, and coffee flavors. Not bad.

Deep brown to black color in the glass. Medium to heavy typical porter body with a nice accent of vanilla among the roasted malt notes. Very enjoyable.

beautiful sweet vanilla bean aroma mixed with some toasted notes. Very dark pour with a nice frothy tan head. Very delicious sweetness of the anilla mixed with some toasted bread notes. Absolutely delicious.

Tap at a local restaurant - you pretty much need to love vanilla to like this beer, as it is almost all that I really taste - don’t get me wrong, it compliments the beer’s creamy body, and light hints of roasted malt, but that vanilla is sure potent - some notes of black malt and a hint of maple way in the back - rather full-flavored for a low ABV brew - just soooo much vanilla.

Bottle from Food Market. Dark brown colour, beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate and vanilla. Flavour of roasted malts, coffee and vanilla. Sweet and watery.

I’m just getting into the porters and this is drinkable. I’m not sure if that is a good sign or a bad one though. Not much vanilla note to me. Very flat w/ no foam.
