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!”

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of BrianK. Pours a clear deep amber with an off-white head. Aroma has oxidized caramel, a little mint and a fusty, corky edge - not unpleasant though. Solid body, a little low in carbonation, caramel and overripe fruit - again rather oxidized. The hops are hardly detectable. 140310
