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.

14/5/2020. Sample courtesy of the SHIG, cheers! Pours black with a small bubbly beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, ash, coffee, liquorice, dark chocolate, blackberry and slight boozy notes. Moderate sweetness and moderate roasted bitterness. Medium body, a little slickness, very soft carbonation.

22 oz. bottle with a date of: 1-1-17. Pitch black appearance. The aroma is light chocolate, roast, and oats. Flavor is solid for a standard imperial oatmeal stout. Chewy oatmeal texture with a full body. Coco, dark fruits, and some bitter roast in the finish for balance. Nice.

Pours a rich deep almost black, dark roasty aroma with toffee, similar flavor. Oily and big round mouthfeel. Good beer.

Bomber shared amidst Snowageddon 2016. Had this a bit, I think it was from a Secret Santa. Thanks! Dark brown, medium sized fizzy tan head. Good retention. Aroma of toffee, dark fruits, a bit of oxidation. The taste is roast, oats, chocolate. Medium bodied, decent balance.

Rich, deep dark brown coloured body with hints of pure plack and a super large, slightly dense lighter brown head - showing some microfoam. Aroma of prunes, raisins, plums, earth, roasted malt, light cocoa and a touch of alcohol - more of a porter smell than an imperial stout. Full-bodied; Assertive effervescence with a deep roasty malt flavour, some subtle nuts and cream flavours with vanilla and prunes very noticeable. Aftertaste shows more of the pitted fruits with plums, apricots and even concord grapes coming through with a large malt note and some cream near the end with all the bubbles still hanging around. Overall, this is definitely more of a Baltic Porter than an Imperial Stout, and it’s not a bad beer overall, just keep expectations in check and you’ll be okay - not worth searching out for nor cellaring for a long time - it would probably explode in a few more years time, given the carbonation now at a single year. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Central Market in Austin, Texas on 06-May-2014 for US$6,99 sampled at home in Washington, just a few hours before leaving for Texas again on 31-August-2015.

Sample at ACAT. Pours black, with a bubbly, brown head. Nice aroma of coffee and bitter chocolate. Cinnamon and molasses follow. Sweet, with almost perfect hop balance. Heavy body, sticky, and surprisingly dry. This is an excellent stout!
