Dogfish Head Sahtea (6.0 ABV)

A modern update on a 9th century Finnish proto-beer. Brewed with rye, we caramelize the wort with white hot river rocks, then ferment it with a German Weizen yeast. In addition to juniper berries foraged directly from the Finnish country-side we added a sort of tea made with coriander, cardamom, lemon grass, Indian Black Tea, and ramps leaves. The spicing is subtle and balanced and Sahtea is a highly-quaffable, truly-unique brew with a full-mouth feel.

This beer is so cool! It's brewed with tea. I tried it on a whim while out at my birthday dinner and my, was I happy I did. I can't label it a favorite quite yet because I've only had it once, but the tap did it more than justice. I am compelled to mention that I still remember how delicious this beer was almost half a year after my only taste.
