This beer named after The Eldon Hole, one of the seven wonders of The Peak District, is a smooth, roasty stout brewed with Demerara sugar and with added complexity from the addition of Bourbon soaked oak. Caramel, coffee and chocolate flavours are married with a hint of vanilla and fine Kentucky Bourbon.

Bottle from the lcbo. Black pour, medium beige head. Very roasty Aroma, lots of coffee and some soy, with a fruity, malty character. Carb is soft mouth feel is thin. There are no signs of oak really, no wood, or vanilla, maybe some slight earthiness. Finish is medium bitter with more coffee and some distinct chocolate malt.

Bottle at Thornbridge, 's Hertogenbosch. Aroma is pretty strong liquorice with chocolate, vanilla, roasted malt, notes of oak, caramel, and cane sugar. Flavour is rather sweet with a nicely roasty bitter finish. Body is above medium. Heavy on the vanilla and liquorice, certainly decent but not a prime Impie for me.

Bottle from Drink? Hebden Bridge. Black with a small off-white head. One sip and you know this is good. There’s a complex mix of flavours and all are apparent. Chocolate makes way for the vanilla, then the bourbon, then vanilla again in its aftertaste, all very smooth tasting.

Pours an almost black colour with little copper highlights. The head is big, frothy, warm beige coloured, long lasting with some foamy lacing. Molasses aromas with dried prunes, dates over the roasted malts and hints of oak barrel smokiness. This can also be felt in the taste and lingers. All-around, seems pretty thin for the style and alcohol content. Smooth overall, going down easily. Nothing too complex, but decent oak infused thin stout.
