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.

Location: Draft at Ginger Man-Houston, 1/13/14
Aroma: The aroma is heavy malt, caramel, chocolate, molasses, and some roast
Appearance: This one pours a darker brownish color with a small beige head
Flavor: The taste is much the same, heavy malty and some boozy flavor mostly
Palate: The body is medium-full, it has a sticky feel, some heat, and thicker finish
Overall Impression: I thought this was a pretty tasty one. It is on the hotter side, but it isn't over-the-top boozy. I enjoyed it.

Bottle @ Armin’s house. Thanks Armin! 2010 vintage. Black appearance with a small brown head. A touch smoky, a bit fruity, lightly roasty aroma. Dark plum fruity, a light floral, light chocolate, light roasty flavor with a slightly tangy finish. Maybe they improved since this vintage but this is pretty forgettable.

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.
