Wind shear, pull up, pull up

I didn't actually hear this but suspect that the cockpit crew did...
about 1845 DEN time on arrival from DFW....T-storms had just passed through
on final approach, gear down, flaps down....then abruptly throttles full (I think) and rate of climb steep...the pilot later called it a "wind shear warning"....
Got my attention.

Not as dramatic as the clear air turbulence I experienced on a 747 from SIN to NRT when it felt like we went straight down...without warning..
