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.

355 ml bottle poured in to a Snifter. Near black with a dense creamy tanned head. Sweet aroma with caramel malts, cocoa, maple syrup, vanilla, whisky barrel and a toasted note. Taste is sweet. Full bodied. Lingering sweet finish with maple syrup and vanilla. Light boozy. Rather sweet, just enough barrel to balance the sweetness.

(Thanks, Jim! ozzy70) Bottle. A- Maple, chocolate, vanilla. A- Black color, black liquid, brown head. T- Oak, maple, vanilla, chocolate. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly boozy finish. O- All the flavors are there but they are fairly mild and it's not terribly complete. A decent sweetness. I did enjoy this but for some reason wanted more depth. Not sure how it would've aged. Still enjoyed.

--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Black, small brown head. Aroma of maple syrup and vanilla. Very sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel. Dominated my maple syrup, caramel and custardy vanilla. Simplistic and over sweet.

(Bottle, 0.355 l - bottled on 02.01.2021, from Alko, 20211014) The beer poured black. Its head was medium sized and lightly brown. Aroma had burnt malts, chocolate, marzipan and sweetness. Palate was full bodied and sticky sweet with medium carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, chocolate, marzipan, lightly cocoa powder and medium bitterness. Aftertaste had chocolate, sweetness and bitterness. A way too sweet brew with pleasant burnt notes.
