Dorwinion is a complex sour ale from Brouwerij Alvinne, matured in a blend of wine barrels sourced from Sauternes, Banyuls, Sherry and Calvados. This 9% ABV beer showcases the Flemish brewery's pioneering expertise in barrel ageing, delivering deep fruit character and vinous complexity drawn directly from the wood.

The glass reveals a full, silky texture with aromatic fruit – plum, grape and dark berries – complemented by vanilla and oak. Flavour balances sweetness against tartness, with caramel and honey dissolving into a crisp, gently sour finish. This is a beer that rewards patience and contemplation.
