COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
It has been a year since we released ’00 and, as promised, we have brewed up another “extreme” Storm. Like its predecessor, only 20 barrels of ’01 will ever be brewed. Five malts and three hop varieties, along with a special ingredient chosen for the ’01, combine to create another exceptional and unique beer. It was brewed during the winter of 2001 and aged for almost a year before its release. Like most products with such robust ingredients, time increases the complexity of the ’01 and allows more subtle characteristics to be noticed as stronger flavors subside. Although ready to drink now, this beer will continue to get better for years to come. It is extremely limited, extremely strong, and extremely original, because as we like to say around here: “It’s All About Extremes!”

This one had been sitting around for a while, and I finally had to crack it open. Pours out a beautiful mahogany with a slight lacing white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma is of dark fruits, fig, caramel, and slight earthy notes. Very smooth mouthfeel with the alcohol ever present, but never offensive. Taste has matured very well, up front earthy notes fade into dark fruits, caramel, fig, raisin, vanilla and a somewhat long and alcoholic finish. Too bad they only made this one once.

Dickinsonbeer (5077) - Hoboken, New Jersey, USA - OCT 9, 2007
Pours mostly clear deep amber (one of the first pours). Thin diminishing head to nothing. Aroma is fruity, only light oxidation, light esters, no fusels for such a high abv- moslty malty. Good thick malt presence and tons of caramel with a little ox. I think this one was almost as good as the 00 I had a couple months ago.

egajdzis (4550) - Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 7, 2007
Poured a murky red brown color with a small, light tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of oxidized sherry, dried fruits, citrus, a bit of hops, with caramel malts, and some vanilla oakiness. Taste of more sherry, dark fruits, citrus, tobacco, resin, with vanilla, and a bit of alcohol in the finish. Thanks Walt!

Pours a hazy brown with a smaller bubbly off white head. Aroma of dark fruits, caramel, vanilla and toffee. Flavor of lots of toffee/caramel malts, dark fruits and a touch of vanilla.
