Week 1 of 52
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!

peteryan says Good, but not Great.

I am not a big fan of this style of beer and SnowStorm didn’t do much to change my mind. It was smooth and fruity but I wouldn’t kick it out of the fridge if it had a little hoppier taste. The color and head were nice and it had a fine smell and aftertaste. If I finish off the sixer in one sitting my review may go up but my typing ability may suffer.
In conclusion I don’t think this is a bad beer but I won’t be keeping a spot for it in the fridge this winter, hopefully you enjoy it.
Purchased at Richfield Liquors for $6.99 +tax.
