This beer from Westbrook Brewing Co. is Gates of S’mordor Stout. This beer is 11% ABV from Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. This boozy stout has marshmallows, graham crackers, cocoa nibs, and cinnamon. Westbrook is going for s’mores with this stout. This beer pours a deep black color with two fingers’ brown head that fades steadily into a little island. The aroma is sweet, chocolate, marshmallow, and light cinnamon. The flavor is chocolate, marshmallow, graham cracker, and cinnamon. It does taste like a s’more. There is a light burnt cinnamon on the back of your tongue. The mouthfeel is full and rich. Then it comes to a chocolate-covered marshmallow finish and an aftertaste of sweet cocoa. This stout is delicious. I give Gates of S’mordor an A+. This stout does not feel like it’s 11% ABV, but feels lower than that. I highly recommend this one. So try it. If you love s’mores then this will hit the spot. Please stay safe, be kind to everyone, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
