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.

Bottle shared thanks to sjogro. Almost black. Massive vanilla overpowering everything else. Soft maple, sugary malts, chocolate, licorice, brown sugar, tar, dry dead leaves. Very sweet and dry earthy bitter. Decent but not balanced at all.

Bottle from 101 bottles, Kent, OH. Lovely dark aroma with vanilla. Gorgeous thick espresso foam. Lovely coffee taste, but with a slight sour and sweet ending. Undeniably class.

355ml bottle from hopt.it, France. 2021 vintage, also bought in 2021. Pours black, with fine brown foam. Aroma is rich with cacao, molasses, nutty, vanilla, wood/barrel. Body is average, smooth, a little oily, with soft ticking carbonation. Taste is pretty sweet, with some oxidation. Final is still rather intense, and pleasant.

Bottled 355ml (Humala, vintage 2021). Opaque colour and small beige head. Aroma is toasted with cocoa and tobacco, vanilla sweetness. Medium-bodied to full-bodied. Flavour is similar: cocoa, vanilla, roasted notes, hops, touch of alcohol. Good brew with typical Founders fingerprints.

Draft. A black beer with a dark brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, dark chocolate, maple syrup, vanilla, coffee, and a bit of bourbon. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, dark chocolate maple syrup, wood, vanilla, coffee, and a bit of bourbon, leading to a dry woody finish.

Bottle @ Kvickly Middelfart. Pours black with a small beige head. Roast and too much fake vanilla happening. Ashes, roast, dust and maple. That vanilla is ruining it for me. A discounted feel.

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.
