Poured from a 375 ml bottle. Aroma is very chocolate forward with fairly strong milk chocolate undertones. Some light roast notes. Medium light apple brandy notes with some faint oak notes. Pours jet black with a small, thick, mocha head that recedes slowly to the edges where a small film lingers for quite a bit. No lacing and fairly long legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with a lot of lactose and chocolate notes. Hints of roast with some light oak notes. Medium light apple brandy notes that become more pronounced as it warms. Mouthfeel is full bodied and moderately creamy with medium carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice imperial milk stout, but the mouthfeel could be a bit fuller. The calvados character is also very light and somewhat overpowered by the lactose. More calvados and alcohol notes as it warms.
