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 mouthfeel.
6 IBU

Poured from a 750 ml bottle into a snifter glass. Pours a cloudy antique gold with a thin white head that disappeared after the first sip and left no lace. Pleasant aroma of malt, honey, juniper and coriander. The flavor is quite distinctive and enjoyable with malt, honey, juniper, chai tea, and coriander. I thought it was interesting that the chai tea was quite noticeable in the flavor yet completely absent from the aroma. Mouthfeel was a bit odd; almost slick. Overall, this is a very different beer. I'm not sure it is something I would drink with any regularity, but it was fun to try.
