Witkap-Pater Special is a top-fermented beer with refermentation in the bottle. The color is blond amber, deep blond. The beer tastes bitter, especially in the aftertaste. It also tastes a bit malty. It beads beautifully and flows in gently.

Initially launched under the name ''Greut Lawauitj'' the Witkap-Pater Special was especially brewed for the "European Belleman Championship" held in Ninove in 2004. The Belleman or Town Crier is a person who rings the bell and broadcasts news in the streets.

6.9/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
Bottled. Clear amber, small head. Aroma of toffee and red berries. Dry and very minerally with hints of blue cheese. Medium bodied with clean, firm malt character and some orangey/grassy hops. Salty finish. Well balanced and very drinkable, but damn close to impossible to order unless you speak Flemish...

Most difficult name for a beer i’ve ever seen. The beer was quite nice though: cloudy golden color, medium head. Aroma is spicy and yeasty, quite fruity. Taste has a sour fruity note, but predominantly yeasty and spicy. Nicely balanced.

Huge, slightly orangey head; orange-gold, clear beer. Bit biscuity nose (nothing to do with ageing). Fruity yeast-aromas take over (orangezest), but also spicey (garden herbs, like chamomille). Taste varies between malt, even grainy, and bitterish-spicey. Initial taste is aromatic-citrus, but gets retronasally overwhelmed by the spicey notes. At one point even quite hop-bitter, but this wears off. Rather light bodied. Bit of adstringency. Beer is quite aromatic, but pulls in too many directions at once. As if the brewer couldn’t make up his mind. The result is not balance, which characterizes most Slaghmuylder products, but indecisiveness.
