    i am a big fan of vanilla flavors in my darker beers, and i was wondering if anyone had some suggestions and/or favorites. ive had the breckenridge vanilla porter and southern tier creme brulee and really enjoy both of those. ive also searched for vanilla on the site, but many are retired, one time releases from small breweries, etc. thanks.

    Try Ballast Point Victory at Sea. It's a coffee vanilla porter. Fantastic Brew.

    Mean Old Tom by Maine Beer Company is good if it's available near you.

    Fat Head's Oopma Loompa Chocolate Cream Stout is brewed with vanilla beans, although I personally wasn't the biggest fan of it..

    Dominion Oak Barrel Stout and Ballast Point Victory At Sea for beers that are still being made. Though I preferred Chipotle Smoked Porter, Stone's Vanilla Smoked Porter was also pretty good. I could see them releasing both of those again in the future.

    Victory at Sea Coffee Vanilla Porter from Ballast Point! Everytime I have one, I question whether or not it could be my favorite beer.

    Victory at sea is an excellent "imperial" selection. If you can find Ska's Pocket Protector Porter, I highly recommend it for the 6 to 7 abv option.
