So- as himself was curled up with the cat and a pint of beer (which has an increasingly stable head! Woo hoo!) I got a description- he says this batch tastes like what Lagunitas Maximus would be if it were a nut brown ale.
We dumped the tea in and boiled it for the whole 1.5 hours. Really, we are using strong tea rather than water as the liquid for this stuff. As tea, this would be a disaster! As beer, it seems to work. I don't know if it is because of all the sugars in the boil, or just that the tannin actually works well with the hops.
And thank for the tip on number of posts! I'll wait until I hit 25 and try to do that link again! Meanwhile, the album is there, it's called Hrothgar's first steps.
