Schell Snowstorm
January 1st thru January 6th
Brewer's Description
Much like snowflakes, no two Snowstorm beers are alike. Once a year, our brewmasters lock themselves in the testing room with a secret selection of fine malts and hops, only emerging when they've hit upon something truly extraordinary.
Snowstorm 2007 was inspired by the Monastic beers of Belgium. Authentic Belgian yeast produces subtle overtones of fruiit and spice. Six malts combined with a touch of Turbinado sugars help to create a complex malt character, with hints of raisins, dark fruit and rum. We hope you enjoy savoring it as much as we enjoyed making it!

Alyssa says A little dark, a little sweet
January 4th, 2008
I don’t drink too many dark beers but for a “dark” brew, this one was a little sweet, which I liked. I didn’t get much of the rum and raisin “overtones” but I could taste a hint of wintery spices. Overall a decent brew but even with a touch of sweetness, it’s a little bitter for my taste.
