The wort for Sah&#8217;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&#8217;tea is flavored with black tea. The spicing is subtle and balanced, and Sah&#8217;tea is a highly-quaffable, truly unique brew with a full mouthfeel<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.2beerguys.com\/images\/forblog\/advent13\/dogfish-head-sahtea-bottle.jpg\" width=\"308\" height=\"411\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why I \u00a0selected Sah&#8217;tea:<\/strong><br \/>\nI was looking for an out of the ordinary brew to enjoy with friends. It was a conversation starter due to it\u2019s non traditional style. Most of my friends had never tried a sahti style so it was a treat for all.<\/p>\n<p>What I took from this beer were harsh, yet calming notes of juniper with a sweet aftertaste that resonates with you even after you are done drinking this brew. The aftertaste is almost smoke like in nature. All in all this brew goes down smoothly and with much enjoyment. A great table sharing beer around the holidays for all to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.2beerguys.com\/images\/forblog\/advent13\/sblpodcast.png\" width=\"363\" height=\"180\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>About Mike Meredith:<\/strong><br \/>\nMike is a craft beer fanatic and the Robin to Seacoast Beverage Lab&#8217;s Batman.
