About This Beer
Gates of S’Mordor is an Imperial Stout brewed by the dark beer experts at Westbrook! It’s (you guessed it) inspired by the Lord of the Rings, and its layers of s’mores-like decadence taste like the brewers forged it in the mighty, roasty flames of Sauron’s volcanic palace.
Tasting Notes
Take a sip, and luscious flavors of gooey fudge and cinnamon graham cracker flirt with touches of vanilla bean. A bit of roasted marshmallow comes through on the finish, perfectly balancing the brew’s delightful richness.

I don't think I got as much of the smores flavor as I would have liked, but still really tasty.

It’s actually not as rich as I was expecting, which is nice because it’s a lot. I’d recommend letting it sit in your mouth for a little bit before swallowing because it really lets you get a full range of the flavors it carries.

I’m not sophisticated enough to describe this beer! But I enjoyed it and mostly got a nice syrupy chocolate flavor from it.

As a chocolate imperial stout, really knocks it out of the part. S’mores flavor? I suppose it’s there, definitely catch the smell of molasses in the aroma but didn’t taste much of those graham crackers

The nose smells like its going to be a sugar bomb but comes across the palate nicely and finishes dry. Overall a very solid stout.

When I seen this, I was happy as hell, and maxed out the allotment I could get. I don’t like pastry stouts, but this one is different. It’s a liquid s’more. I truly hope that somehow Tavour can get some of the BA version.

The pleasant chocolate, cinnamon and marshmallow notes are crushed by the extremely bitter finish.

There’s a lot going on in this beer. I found it difficult to taste some of the flavors brewed into it. The richness and body come across as a bit cloying. Having said the foregoing, it’s a decent pastry stout but didn’t live up to its description in my opinion.

Very nice chocolate, marshmallow, and cinnamon flavors. Smooth base with subtle graham cracker undertones.

I like stouts and chocolate. This is a wonderful combination of both. This is a very milky stout that kind of drinks like an ale. I don’t get much of a s’mores flavor beyond the chocolate though. Overall a good beer and with 11% ABV I would reorder again

If s’mores is what you’re looking for, this delivers! A little sweet for me but overall still really enjoyed it

Tastes of a charred smokiness, taste the alcohol as is not barrel aged. Was good to try but not to stock up on.

Perfect flavors of marshmallow, chocolate and almost molasses-heavy graham crackers. It smells just like a Mexican bakery due to the cinnamon, but the cinnamon subtly brings everything together with the aromas and flavors. This is a killer stout!

Unlike other S’more beers I could actually taste all the elements of the campfire treat. I do wish it came in a smaller bottle, it was a lot to get through in one night.

Flavor was there but a bit thin for my tastes. Perhaps I left it for a bit too long... But something this big should have held up better. It's not a bad beer, but I've had better and it def could be thicker

S’mores in a thick, rich beer. Nose is super chocolatey & graham crackery. Starts off sweet but mellows a bit into the chocolate & marshmallow & cinnamon. Cinnamon lingers lightly.
