The Kneiter Gieter Pater is very dear to us, a beer that we quickly realized would also be excellent for aging in a beautiful wooden barrel. Despite us as brewers being big fans of (peat) smoked malts, the Kneiter Gieter Pater is devoid of any trace of smoke. Until now, that is because we have managed to get our hands on a unique barrel. Since 2021, the distiller Schotman has been producing the very first patented peated rum. One of his creations has matured in a former Moscatel barrel, the famous sweet dessert wine. And on this barrel, we have allowed our Kneiter Gieter Pater to age for 14 months. The result is a whirlwind of flavors, where the sweetness of the KGP itself and the Moscatel complement each other excellently. And the peat smoke provides such a delightful salty counterbalance that even the most fervent Trappist monk puts on an eyepatch and sets sail across the seven seas.
