\"\"<\/a>Porters and stouts, I love ’em!\u00a0 Okay well I love stouts a little bit more than I do porters but don’t tell porters that.\u00a0 I’m trying to keep our relationship smooth and casual.<\/p>\n

Scott and I were perusing the beer aisle not long ago and we came across this vanilla porter by Breckenridge Brewery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A dark beer brewed with actual vanilla beans?\u00a0 You don’t say.\u00a0 Interesting!<\/p>\n

And because curiosity got the best of us, we purchased it.<\/p>\n

It sat waiting in the fridge for the perfect moment.\u00a0 Even though I do love beer, I have to be in the mood for beer.\u00a0 I don’t want to waste a good beer on a moment when I’m not digging the carby goodness.\u00a0 That doesn’t do anyone any favors.\u00a0 Plus it could tarnish what would otherwise have blossomed into a beautiful affair.<\/p>\n

Eventually it was beer night at the house and we poured ourselves some vanilla porter.\u00a0 I couldn’t wait, I was so excited to try it!\u00a0 Crossing my fingers and hoping with all my might that it did not disappoint.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>First of all, look at that amazing color!\u00a0 What I found interesting was that even though the beer is super dark, the head is a very light color.\u00a0 Typically with dark beers you’ll see a caramel colored head but the vanilla porter didn’t have that at all.<\/p>\n

Normally, I let my beers warm up a bit before sipping.\u00a0 I don’t like my dark beers to be super cold.\u00a0 I like them only slightly chilled, especially my porter babies.\u00a0 Drinking them too cold makes the bitter finish a little too prominent.\u00a0 Allowing them to warm up decreases the bitterness a lot.<\/p>\n

However I couldn’t wait to drink this!\u00a0 I mean, hello VANILLA BEER.<\/p>\n

And you know what?\u00a0 It was amazing.\u00a0 It was the smoothest tasting porter I have had so far.\u00a0 No bitter finish at all.\u00a0 In fact I had to double check to make sure it wasn’t a stout.\u00a0 Even cold, this beer tastes great.\u00a0 And once the chill wore off, it was still great!<\/p>\n

The vanilla flavor hits you at the finish and it is not over powering.\u00a0 If you didn’t know it had vanilla, it might be hard to tell but you would know that it had something<\/em> going on.<\/p>\n

This was my first Breckenridge beer and I’ll definitely keep my eye out for more!\u00a0 If you can dig on some dark beers, give this one a try!<\/p>\n
