poured into a tulip. dark brown when it was poured but when held up to light in the glass it was near pitch black... decent head of about 1 in. reduced to about 1/4in.

Dark malt and smooth vanilla with some very light pine like hop notes towards the end.

smoooth malt to start with some chocolate bitterness in the middle that is followed by light vanilla and an almost black cherry flavor. some bittering hops detected in the end and finished crisp which was weird for the style... carbonation is higher maybe that is why. very interesting.

medium bodied with a higher carbonation... different than other porters but done very nicely. thought it could be a bit thicker though.

Overall a good beer. worth a try if you see it. this is my first from Breckenridge brewery and i think I'll have to try a few more by them for sure.

Good vanilla flavor but not over-powering sweet vanilla and tends to drop off a little towards the end of the glass. A little smokey.
Satisfying thick creamy flavor with a bit of a chocolate mid/after taste.. Nice flavor on tap which is how I like my beer. It is my go to beer at my neighborhood beer bar.

Serving type: on-tap

This is a very pretty beer with a nice thick, creamy head. It's very dark in color and the maltiness is just right. There is only a minor bitterness in the aftertaste which makes it easy and smooth going down. It definitely smells of toasted malts, chocolate and vanilla. A very pleasant smell indeed! This porter makes a real nice adult float with vanilla bean ice cream. One of the best porters and adult floats that I have ever experienced. Will make this my signature go-to adult float beer.
