Dogfish Head - Sahtea (2010)

This Ancient Ale is a modern take on a 9th-century Finnish beer.  The wort for Sah'tea is caramelized over white-hot river rocks, and the beer is fermented with a German weizen yeast. In addition to juniper berries foraged from the Finnish countryside, Sah'tea is flavored with black tea, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and black pepper.  The spicing is subtle and balanced, and Sah'tea is a highly-quaffable, truly unique brew with a full mouth-feel.

The Pour - Pours a cloudy straw color with chunks! A white head. Good lacing.
Aroma - Strong spice like coriander and juniper, citrus fruits.
Taste -  Nice spicy taste and sweet.
Mouth Feel - Medium carbonation and body.
Drinkable - Very refreshing.  I like the strong spice taste.  Good for one glass maybe two in one sitting.  A bit overpowering flavor for multiple glasses.  Still, its good, give it a go.

This beer pairs well with most cheese and desserts.  I used it as a broth in a beef stew.
