Vanilla Porter

Sifting through the trick-or-treat treats of the evening, I struggled with what to pair them. It takes a carefully produced and selected beer to cut through the sweetness and excessive chocolatiness that in these last years has become the main point of Halloween. Breckenridge offers up this greatest possible answer, describing it on their website in these words: “Deep in the jungles of Papua New Guinea and Madagascar grows the perfect ingredient for an extraordinary Porter brewed in Colorado. Breckenridge Brewery’s Vanilla Porter. An ale that has all the chocolate and roasted nut flavor of a classic Porter, with an enigmatic surprise thrown in for good measure.”
