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 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.

Tap@Taphouse, Copenhagen - black with a tan head. Sweet dark roasted malty with luxurious opulent chocolate, lots of maple and caramel sweetness flooding in, nice mouthfeel and creamy full body, vanilla laced dark sweet chocolate infused malty lingering finish. Gorgeous.

12 oz bottle from jcos, thanks Kramer! Bottled 2/1/21, consumed 9/28/21. Pours a darker brown color with medium brown head. Rich dark malts, caramel, chocolate, and vanilla. Maple, roast, and bourbon. Smooth, creamy, fairly sweet. Bit of heat on the finish, but the ABV is pretty well hidden. Tasty.

Maple sweetness with some vanilla, roasted malts, bourbon isn’t that noticeable, hmmm i get the feeling it is artificial, (had to correct it for Ceasar with his mannenpap) .. 😁

355ml bottle. Smooth, sweet and heavy with vanilla notes, maple syrup, bourbon, toffee, creamy milk chocolate and cocoa notes. Soft and balanced, pretty good.

Vahtrasiirup ja vanilje on tugevad, alks ka, aga muidu täitsa mõnsa õllekokteil.

A black beer, a head is medium, dense and light brown. Aroma has salt liquorice, some roastiness and chocolate, light bourbon. Taste has liquorice, chocolate, some vanilla, there are quite lot of sweetness, maple syrup, but it still remains pleasant, hint of barrel and bourbon. Medium+ bodied, smooth. This is very nice, smooth, but there are great nuancees.

Black with lasting light tan head. Milk choc, vanilla and maple syrup aroma, light coconut. Creamy, oily mouthfeel. Sweet flavour, maple syup and vanilla, heavy sweet malt. Surprisingly drinkable. Would have thought this to be heavier, but the vanilla and light bitterness really makes it lighter, more drinkable.
