Thats seems about right for your ingredients and OG, maybe a little higher than you would have expected. But if it has stopped, than it has stopped. Using the extract beer designer spreadsheet with those ingredients, it came out with an OG of 1049 and FG of 1014. ABV should be about 4.9% in the bottle. Looks good to me!
 
Yeh cool, it tastes as if it has fermented all the way out. No sweetness. Guess i was just double guessing myself, thought it would get a point lower.
