Production & Heritage

Boulevard Brewing Co., founded in 1989 in Kansas City, Missouri, has grown into one of the Midwest's largest and most respected craft breweries. More S'mores is built on a complex grain bill of pale, amber, cara, chocolate, rye, wheat, and oat malts, hopped with Magnum and Topaz for balance rather than bitterness. The collaboration with Whitman's brings intentional s'mores character — marshmallow, chocolate, and graham — into a full-bodied imperial stout framework, distinguishing it from stouts that achieve dessert qualities through barrel aging alone.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Warm marshmallow rises first, followed by waves of melted milk chocolate. Beneath that sweetness sits a lightly toasted graham cracker note that anchors the nose and keeps it from drifting into pure confection territory.

Taste: The entry is silky and sweet, with milk chocolate and marshmallow fluff dominating the front palate. At mid-palate, biscuit malt and subtle rye spice emerge, adding dimension. The chocolate shifts darker as it develops, joined by faint vanilla and a whisper of barrel-like warmth despite no barrel aging.

Finish: Smooth and creamy with a gentle roast that offsets the residual sugar. Lingering notes of toasted graham and dark chocolate fade slowly, leaving a pleasant sugary warmth.

How to Drink More S'mores

Serve at cellar temperature — around 50–55°F — in a snifter or tulip glass to concentrate the aromatics. The high ABV and rich body make this a sipper, best enjoyed slowly. For cocktail-curious drinkers: use it in a Beer Float with vanilla ice cream for an amplified dessert experience; try a Stout Flip shaken with an egg yolk and a dash of nutmeg to highlight its creamy texture; or blend it into a Black Velvet variation with sparkling wine, where the chocolate sweetness plays off dry effervescence.

Best For

• Campfire evenings and backyard fire pit gatherings
• Dessert course pairing at a craft beer dinner
• Gifting to a pastry stout or dessert beer enthusiast
• Cold-weather weekend sipping alongside a good book

Is More S'mores worth the price? It positions as a premium specialty release within the pastry stout category, justified by its high ABV, complex multi-grain bill, branded collaboration with Whitman's, and strong BeerAdvocate rating of 89. For fans of dessert stouts, it represents solid value relative to many limited-run pastry stouts.

Why More S'mores?

The Whitman's collaboration is not just branding — it signals an intentional approach to achieving authentic s'mores flavor through ingredient selection rather than relying on adjuncts or barrel treatment as an afterthought. The grain bill alone — seven malts including chocolate, rye, wheat, and oats — builds a body dense enough to support the dessert profile without tipping into cloying sweetness. An 89 on BeerAdvocate from over 60 ratings confirms that this stout delivers on its promise among a crowded field of pastry stouts. For drinkers who want a campfire treat in a glass backed by genuine brewing craft, this is one of the more honest executions of the concept.
