Cola-dark brown with a full white head - not much retention there. Pretty industrial pent-up smell similar to Harp's or Bass, with a smidgen of coffee/roast malt. Flavor is pretty basic, like a larger with a slight roast flavor.
The mouthfeel is a little off, with too much carbonation for something that claims to include porter.

This is what it intended to be. A pretty conservative, play-it-safe beer targeted toward a wide audience. The real black and tan mixtures (Guiness and Harp) usually have more flavor and a better texture. There's definitely room for improvement (especially the porter component) but props to Yuengling for being one of the few breweries to put out this style of beer.
