Beer Review: Schells' Snowstorm

Last year's was a Baltic Porter, and until I cracked it open a scant few minutes ago I thought that's what I was getting. This year's offering is called a Weizen Dopplebock, or Wheat Double Bock. The first thing that hits your taste bud is a banana/bubble gum-esque flavor, followed by some cinnamon and clove. Chugging it back so it hits the back of the tongue reveals some spiciness as well as some strong malt. Similar to some Dunkelweizens that I've tried, but with the classic bock solidity. The pour is a hazy, coppery brown, minimal head. This is a beer that I heartily recommend to anyone.
