22C is a bit on the warm side. When you said you tasted alcohol, my first thought was fusels which are formed at higher ferm temps. 22C is not terribly high though. You should be fine though. Is that the ambient temp in the room or the temp as measured in the wort? If it was ambient, the the wort would actually be higher and fusels are a possibility.
