450ml bottle as Chernoziom Blekaut. Pours opaque dark brown with a tall light-brown head. Aroma is dried fruit, chocolate, roasted malt, faintly smokey. Taste is medium sweet, dark chocolate, roasted malt. Light bitter finish. Medium to full bodied. It's more like a Baltic Porter. It works for me as the only imperial stout in a world of pale lagers here in the Russian countryside, but I can't see myself buying it (again) in Moscow or any other big city.
