Perseid is a strong, old-school Scotch ale pushed into imperial territory.
Developed from our classic wee heavy, Meteor, this is a powerful yet well-balanced beer, rich brown in hue, with a medium-heavy body full of dark malt and biscuit tones.
A light touch of oak smoke leads on the nose, while the palate explores the full range of caramel character, from subtle honey to rich toffee. Long conditioning on toasted oak adds further depth to the caramel complexity, and nudges Perseid into the deep space between beer and whisky.

200ml pour in a tulip at the brewery. Review entered from notes. They call it a "scotch barleywine."
Pours a very dark brown, slight translucence, little head that leaves a foamy, thick ring around the edge. Smell is slight smoke or char, earthy, burnt molasses / toffee.
Taste is burnt toffee sweetness, vanilla and char, toasted nuts. Maybe a mild coffee and chocolate flavor. Maybe a little cola.
Mouthfeel is thickish, sticky. Overall, good and very interesting.
