Espresso drink in a nightcap category? I see someone's a nightowl

Pleasantly surprised by this drink. The aroma and taste reminiscent of some sort of apple chocolate dessert. Apple undertones pair very well with the coffee. Was a bit sweet for me but my friends liked it a lot

I always do Espresso Martini with Cognac. Calvados really shows a much more feminine expression of this drink. Love it!
