Commercial Description:
When we decided to brew up our ’00 we wanted to create something unique and completely different from anything else out on the market. So our brewers went in search, and found, the best ingredients in the world to create what we like to think of as the ultimate beer. Without the shackles of traditional beer style guidelines, they were able to use the exact types and amounts of ingredients they wanted to create their brew. When it was finished, we hand bottled our 20 barrels of ’00 in a package as unique and exquisite as the beer inside. This is the first and last time this recipe will ever be used. We have designed it to grow better with age so your patience will be rewarded, but if you can’t wait that long to get a taste, we’re sure you’ll be counting the days until we unveil the ’01. It is extremely limited, extremely strong, and extremely original, because as we like to say around here: “It’s All About Extremes!" A sweet and deliciously smooth heavy ale, with an alcohol content of 11.5% by volume.

Corked on 1/18/04: Pours a dark ruby with a nice creamy head. Notes of maple, toffee and alcohol in the nose. Similar taste with a slight hint of East Kent Goldings. The alcohol is incredibly well masked under the huge body of this beer. I think they might have used Marris Otter 2 row with some crystal 60 for color. Unfortunately, after 4 years, the hop oils have expired and as the beer warms the sweetness becomes a bit cloying, not obnauxious, but a bit.I think this would have been far better 2 years ago when the hops might have balanced the sweetness. Still a great brew that was very enjoyable and wonderfully well brewed.

Dark ruby brown with no head to speak of and very little carbonation. Nose: dark fruits, chocolate and alcohol. Taste, very smooth and winelike, with both fruity and chocolate notes. I've been saving this beer for three years and finally decided to open it . I'm glad I did

Bottle... HSSSG2003 Part 1... A murky, burnt orange ale. Small, quickly diminishing, white creamy head with no lacework. The nose is extremely malty. Caramel, toffee... ’nuff said... oh, and brown sugar. Well-balanced flavor. Very malty up front with blasts of caramel and molasses. Bittered nicely on the backside. Big alcohol shows up in the flavor as well as the nose. Full-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Long, astringent, dry finish. Wow! Balance was not expected. Not as good as I had hoped, but a fine brew nonetheless.

Bright, dark amber. Balanced and drinkable. Not as complex as I was expecting. Smooth, dark malt flavours, touch of earthiness, you can tell this has aged a bit as it is already starting to show some sherry notes and any bitterness that might have been there has dropped out.

This rating is for posterity, as chances are you will never get to sample this mega-beer. Brewed just once, this baby was 11.5%, using only regular ale yeast. The flavor was chocolate-caramel-fruit meld that was simply sublime. Certainly one of the best beers I’ve ever had. My bedtime prayers always include a plea to the boys at Coastal Extreme to brew this beer again.

This exceptional ’one off’ winter speciality beer will never be brewed again. The recipe changes every year. Newport Storm 00 followed no stylistic guidlines, so it is hard to peg. It is a rich, delicious, fruity, chocolatey, slight yeasty brew with a warming, high octane(11.5% abv) burn. A rare and special brew, seek it out if you can find it.
