Our 4th annual release of Anniversary Barleywine is unlike any to come before it. The 2020 vintage is a decadent mega blend of previous vintages and historical cognac barrels, a culmination of four years of hard work. In the eyes of our brewers and barrel master, it is truly Sori Brewing´s Piece De Resistance.

Bottle shared by Johnny. Dark red-brown color with a superb red glare coming through when held into the light, medium sized beige to light brown colored head. Aroma and flavor are malts, some roasty notes, cognac, brown malts, caramel, caramelized sugars. Alcohol bitterness. Not bad, but kind of all over the place, not really balanced. Probably better in two years time, losing some of those rough edges.

Butelka 0.33cl (BB 23.03.2025). Słodkawe w aromacie z nutą owoców i suszonych owoców. W smaku wytrawne, owocowe z wyczuwalna nutą alkoholu, całkiem ok ale to nie to czego oczekiwałem, mało beczki, dużo alkoholu, mało ciała.

Sample from the bottle at mini-CBH, Helsinki. Color is dark brown with very small brown head. Aromas and flavours: Coffee, cognag, dark chocolate, dryness and roasted malts. Nice dry mouthfeel. Some nice woody elements. Very heavy. Pretty good!
