Panther Cub (2021)

Porter - Other

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.

So nice to drink a nice full-bodied beer. Too many IPA’s of late.

Sweet, light with vanilla and maple. Don't taste much barrel. Ok not great.

Maple and vanilla on the nose. Fullish mouthfeel. Terrific combination of roasted, maple, and vanilla notes throughout the palate. Maple and vanilla on the finish. Winner winner.

Bottled 2.2.21: Pulled out of the fridge, no big aroma. First flavor is of a highly sweet vanilla-maple mix, rounding out fairly robust, a little chewy, but pretty smooth. Definitely a tad boozy. This will be fun to see what age does to it.

Notes of vanilla, caramel, maple syrup. Bourbon barrel is present but subtle. Flavors hit early and drop off medium quickly. Clean flavor. Medium body. A bit boozy. Could be used as a dessert beer or on its own. A nice little Porter.

My sis made me try it. The nose is classic fbs, kbs, cbs. Roasted bitterness. The flavor is not. Immediate sweet bourbon, maple & vanilla. Infused? All good. The expected bitterness & acidity of the porter is masked. Enjoyable. 4.22 #FUCV

Smooth and creamy. Maple gets taken over by the vanilla, and the barrel flavor is almost non existent. Guess that better that the sharp artificial barrel flavor that has plagued their beers for the last several years.

Maybe the last bourbon-barrel beer for a bit if the weather keeps up. Mild enough one. Maple and vanilla really smooth it out.

It's the most nuanced of the recent bunch. Still really sweet but balanced

A&W Cream Soda w/brownies. Ender of a long afternoon. Least favorite of the three bottles I had, but also post Lambic, Lager, Scotch.

Not bad. Vanilla and maple are present. Nice barrel. Thin, but it’s labeled as a porter!

okay, dessert beers may have a new flagship. this is ridiculous. all maple and vanilla. even the barrel takes a backseat. the “robust porter” is completely buried. flavors are quite good, but this is absolutely a dessert cocktail, not a porter at all.

Very good Porter aged in bourbon barrels. Touch of vanilla and maple syrup. Smooth drinkable 9.2% ALC. My first Founders brew was their regular Porter in a Grand Rapids restaurant 3 yrs ago. Now my favorite brewery!
