Breckenridge Vanilla Porter: stick to drinking melted scented candles

The Vanilla Porter lives up to its name, thanks to the use of actual vanilla beans from Papau New Guinea and Madagascar. Along with the vanilla flavor, there are hints of chocolate, roasted nuts and spices.
Charles said it was a popular new addition to their lineup, but I felt it was just too much vanilla; if you closed your eyes, it was like drinking a melted vanilla candle.
On the other hand, I may be biased against vanilla flavored alcohol from an unfortunate night in Bangkok that involved too much vanilla vodka, power tools and a really big snake.
(Any pictures of that night in Bangkok, Lucia?! Ed.)
