Consider adding some or all of those spices during the secondary ferment. Also consider getting the ingredients whole - ie, cinnamon sticks, fresh ginger root, nutmeg seeds (or, alternatively, mace - the outer shell of nutmeg), and pimiento (the whole Allspice berry). Both those steps could enhance the flavour significantly.

Great thanks for the advice Tim.
