I was wondering if anyone might have an answer for why this happened...
As I poured from the bottle into my pint glass the beer fizzed almost like a carbonated soda and the head dissipated like a soda as well. Might I need to add Carapils to this beer to help with head retention, or did I just really screw this up?
Ok, I'll try some different grains to see the results, but man it fizzed exactly like a soda and died that quickly. Could it be the bourbon? The oak chips I added? Or, I mean I use the no rinse five star sanitizer, could that be the issue, maybe there was some residue left in my bottles to cause it?
I think the batch with beans had less head than the batch with pure extract. I really don't care about a big head on a beer though. It may be visually pleasing, but it doesn't change the taste of the beer IMO.

Sweet!!!! Ok, so it must have been the cleaning agent I used didn't wash out completely from the one bottle, because I opened a few more tonight and well...damn that is some good beer. Nice oak and bourbon up front and finishes with that same oakish bourbon zing, but also a silky smooth vanilla in the background. Awesome!!
I like to drink Breckenridge Vanilla Porter quite a bit when I can find it. I distinctly remember from the Tap and from the Bottle little to no head retention. Perhaps its a characteristic of this beer?? (also voting for the oils from the beans)
