Sah'tea

Farmhouse Ale - Sahti

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 black tea, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and black pepper.

7/22/09: On tap at Falls Church Dogfish Alehouse. Very interesting brew. Very cloudy light orange color, small head. Aroma is spice (ginger came to mind), tea, juniper, yeast. Flavor is spicy, tea, sweet.

This is different . Think they were one of the first breweries to really push limits of ingredients not commonly used.

Closing out the year right! Picked this up at the brewery last year where they aged it from 2014. Very good (but a bunch of sentiment, just have to use a strainer). So tasty and smooth.

Different, for sure. Not something I'd want more than occasionally as a change of pace.

A grand take-away from Eric N. 's beer tasting at The Jeffrey's. I can't believe this was bottled in 2010. It is outstanding. Can even taste the juniper berries. Perfect for watching the State of the Union address.
