Damon: Port
Imperial Stout Aged in Port Barrels
The time spent with loved ones, now lost, seems to affect our mind and body perpetually; memories happen upon us, unsuspectingly, and bring about tears of fond remembrance. Damon was Shaun and Darren’s furry, four-legged brother—devout and patient in an age of busyness and distraction. In his honor, we crafted and conditioned this imperial stout in port barrels. We still reflect, daily, upon our Damon and his scruffy chin of grey—of his loyalty and his love.

More often than not, Damon is the progenitor of our distillery-specific Bourbon barrel-aged beers; the much less frequent opportunity to age this imperial stout in Port barrels results in even fewer appearances. Each barrel of the beer rests in freely shifting seasonality, occupying freshly emptied and then imported Tawny Port barrels for 29 months, conveying the distinct character of the Portuguese fortified wine as a complementary layer that lends a singular shape to the final result.
