February 11, 2010 – cold dark and snowing. Not any ordinary snow – but instead a heavy, mean, ugly snow that spilled over the brewery. Leaving the brewery that late evening – who would have known there would be no brewery that next morning. February 12, 2010 – awoke to the sounds of twisted metal, gushing water and alarms as tons of snow came crashing down through the roof and into the brewery. We tried to save what we could and accept the loss of what we could not. As the day waned, through many a friends helping hands, a new beginning was forming. This was not the end, but alas a start to something new and wonderful. Snowmageddon is a tribute to those who stood by and supported the rebuild of Rahr and Sons Brewery. Hard work, dedication, love and passion for brewing is what makes this late winter selection so special. Snowmageddon is a limited release available annually in late February to celebrate the rebirth of a brewery. Snowmageddon will be an annual limited release, with the style changing from year to year. This first year is an imperial oatmeal stout, based on a winning recipe by a local homebrewer.

    Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 9

    Pours opaque coffee brown with a decent light tan head. Aroma has roast malt, chocolate, nutty, and earthy notes. Flavor rolls roast malt, chocolate, caramel, and earthy tones across the palate. Texture is firm and smooth, if not too fizzy. Get snowed in - just don’t get too "snowed."

    Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

    Aromas of alcohol, bitter chocolate, weak coffee all were ok but very faint. Mouthfeel is a bit thin and watery for the style, the head is tan and forms a ring around the edge, hardly any lace to speak of. Flavors of coffee, dark chocolates, roasted malts, some faint dark fruits, and not much of an alcohol presence. Overall a nice, but middle of the pack Imp. Stout needs a bit more punch.

    Bought at Specs, ya right! .. . Pours a deep brown .. mild foam, light lacing .. . light light mouth .. . some tar, some dark choclate, and light roast .. . a good brew by itself, but when stacked against others, falls way short .. . . that bull has some mad hops!
