Not a fan of this one at all. Poured on draft at the TN Tap House in Knoxville. Pours a murky, pecan pie color. It doesn’t look like a porter at ale, more a brown ale. Small bit of foam tops the beverage.
Aroma is week. Malty. Flavor is muted and muddy. More brown ale flavors with a domestic Yuengling type flavor as well.
Not very good. Didn’t like it at all.

12 oz can with a coded 2018 canning date stamped on the bottom; from the Wall of Beer (Clemson, SC; $2.29).
Pours clear but very dark reddish brown, with a minimal, weak beige head and negligible lacing.
Flavor: timid for style, with some toffee, chocolate, coffee and dark grains.
Feel: medium body with low carbonation: more carbonation would probably be better.
Overall: a mild version of the style that leans towards an English Brown Ale. All 7.2% ABV is evident after some warming. Disappointing.

L: Poured from a can to a pint glass. Had a dark, mahogany brown color and a murky consistency. There was a small amount of tan-colored, foamy head that quickly dissipated. No real lacing to speak of.
S: A very underwhelming aroma of roasted malt, hops, chocolate, booze, and coffee.
T: Tasted of some mild amounts of dark fruit (plums, it would seem), some grassy hops (an odd inclusion), a bit of roasted malt, light chocolate, and a tinge of coffee. The major problem with this flavor is that it's pretty weak and thin. It has a watery character, and emphasis paid to the wrong ingredients.
F: An average amount of carbonation with a somewhat (yet thin), finish. Medium-bodied.
O: Kind of a misfire on most levels. Not the worst Baltic Porter I've tried, but not the best either.
