Modern Brewery OHHH! Big Stretch! 2023 Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Pastry Stout

Technical Details

Tasting Profile

OHHH! Big Stretch! (2023) from Modern Brewery in St. Louis, MO is a luscious Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Pastry Stout that pours pitch black with zero head. The nose opens with waves of toasted coconut and dark chocolate, giving way to rich vanilla and sweet bourbon as it warms in the glass. On the palate, the beer delivers a dense, velvety mouthfeel with layers of coconut, bittersweet chocolate, and a smooth bourbon barrel backbone. The finish is long, indulgent, and warming — a dessert in a can.

Food Pairing

Serve alongside a classic coconut layer cake, where the beer’s tropical sweetness mirrors the dessert’s richness. Alternatively, pair with a dark chocolate and salted caramel tart — the bitter cocoa and salted edge cut beautifully through the stout’s dense, bourbon-laced body.
