Porter with Vanilla Extract and Maple Syrup Aged In Bourbon Barrels

A robust porter, Panther Cub is aged in the finest bourbon barrels available along with a kiss of maple syrup and vanilla extract. The aroma of maple and vanilla notes combine with a surprisingly deep character to make this rare creature one to gaze upon fondly. Don’t let it fool you, this kitty has claws.

29/IX/22 - 12Fl. Oz. bottle from Bierhalle Deconinck (Vichte), shared @ home, BB: n/a, bottled: II/2/21, 2047 62 (2022-1338)

Clear dark brown to black beer, small creamy beige head, a bit irregular, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: nice, lots and lots of chocolate, caramel, vanilla, alcohol, whisky, gentle roast, mocha, more dark caramel, nice! MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: nice, lots and lots of chocolate sweetness compensated by a good bitter roast, alcohol noticeable, caramel, more roast. Aftertaste: sweet, vanilla, dark chocolate, bitter touch, some caramel, nice one!

Bottle at Van Moll. Opaque black color, decent sized light brown colored head. Aroma is malts, bourbon, vanilla. Flavor is malts, dark malts, bourbon, vanilla, some light chocolate. Sweetish with a decent darker chocolaty malty background. Bit too sweet for me tbh but still okay.

Bottle at Battle of Bull, Cheras, Malaysia. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a bubbly light tan head. The aroma is maple syrup and vanilla. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a rich, roasty, sweet maple syrup, subtle vanilla, dry oaky bourbon palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation. Divine.

Bottle from Holiday Market. Pours a pitch black with a finger of brown head. Lots of vanilla on the nose with dark roast malt and coffee aromas. More vanilla and roasted malt on the palate, not a lot of maple or bourbon barrel notes.
