The nose here is very sweet and very full of spice. One of the spiciest beers I can remember.

Immediately, loads of sweet esters hit the tongue (banana, peach) followed by a very healthy dose of cloves. This fades into a thick, sweet finish that has a smattering of hop bitterness on the sides of the tongue but it's very minimal, along with a little peppery spice. Some smacking sweetness sticks around in the aftertaste with some spice. Alcohol not noticeable, which is impressive given the high ABV.

I'm very impressed with this beer. Very drinkable despite the ABV and very tasty.
