COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
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.

bleeng (1372) - Houston nowhere near Beersel, Texas, USA - AUG 19, 2011
Bomber. Pours dark brown with a big, tan, frothy head-overflowd the glass on this one. Nose is very malty, some chocolate notes. Taste has full flavored chocolate, thick malts, some spiciness and a nice but not overwhelming alcohol bite. Wonderful milkshake smooth body that drinks very (and dangerously) fast. Nice effort and the best beer I’ve had from Rahr.

Ibrew2or3 (5757) - Tempe, Arizona, USA - JUL 2, 2011
Courtesy of markwise. Pours mahogany with tan head. The aroma has molasses, graham cracker, coffee and some chocolate malts. The taste is nice and fruity as well as rich as notes of fruitiness, spicy black strap molasses, coffee and chocolate malts all come together and slid toward the finish. This is a bit on the spicy side but trudges through with some chocolate brownies into the finish. Nice one.

6/28/11. Bomber courtesy Cavie!! Dark brown pour with reds under the light with a big, thick, frothy head that lasts and laces a ton (this is an impy stout?). Subtle aroma of caramel, chocolate, sour, and dry coffee. Sweet flavor at first with a sour twinge and then lingering dry notes. Weird.
