Bottle, thanks to beerhandy - dark amber body with foamy/soapy lace - sweet caramel nose, with a bit of balancing tartness - caramel, nuts and light fruity esters - a bit of peppery spiciness leading to a somewhat bitter finish that keeps the sweetness from overstaying its welcome - pretty darn good.
