No aroma upon opening, four scaled fish to the tin. An almost pickled taste hits you on the first bite, followed by a sudden rush of heat. As the heat begins to disperse, the cloves make their presence known. A firm-textured fish, very spiny, has a strong heat to it that lingers. Roe is present; the heat alone makes this tin, spiciest tin of sardines I've had yet. (Nice) I give these guys 3 1/2 sardines would eat again with beer.
