Damon - Triple Barrel-Aged
Hill Farmstead Brewery

For a decade, we’ve honored the memory of this gentle, beloved spirit—who departed in 2004 after 11 years of loyal, patient companionship—with an imperial stout aged in barrels.

In this instance, a single portion of his namesake stout began its journey in a Tawny Port barrel in 2012. After two years of attentive observation, the beer transitioned to a freshly emptied Lairds Apple Brandy barrel for another two years. Finally, it was transferred to a bourbon barrel for yet two more years—six years of patient, oaken solitude. After bottling in 2018, it has rested since, allowing each temporal experience to harmonize and coalesce into a singular, complex expression of time and memory, representing a decade of optimistic stewardship.
