Addition of clove is popular in spiced ales. Note that clove is a naturally occurring flavor component of some yeast strains, notably those for Weizenbier and some Belgian ales.

What it is:

Clove is the unopened, nail-shaped bud of tropical evergreen trees. It has a very strong, warm and sweet aroma. It is available whole or ground.

Use 2 to 5 whole cloves per 5 gallons. Add 10 to 15 minutes from the end of the boil.

Drawbacks:

Whole cloves should be used for easy removal from the beer before bottling.
