Uerige Doppel Sticke

Brewed by Uerige Obergärige Hausbrauerei
Style: Altbier
Düsseldorf, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

poured like new motor oil, settling into a nice dark amber color. Head was eager and voluminous dissipating into large soapy bubbles. [4] aroma was deep malt characters backed by some oak and brown sugar. Dark fruits lend a touch of spice in the nose as well. Strong and pleasing. [9] flavor is very barley infused with a bright almost peppery heat initially. [75] palate is a bit thin [2] overall a joy on the eyes and nose and while it doesnt falter too badly on the tongue it felt like it could have been more.

330 mL awesome bottle. Pours a clear dark amber/ reddish-brown with almost no carbonation and a beautiful beige cap that lasts for a while leaving good sheets of lacing. Aroma is incredibly sweet and malty with some raisins, prunes, figs with some roasted and earthy notes. Taste is well balanced with some spicy alcohol up front with dry, bittering hops complementing the heavy caramel malt. Finish is dry and tart with some excessive soapiness but I’ll let it slide.

330 mL bottle. Cloudy brown with little head. Aroma is somewhat medicinal, with some licorice, chocolate and alcohol. Lots of malt in the flavour. Some chocolate and dark fruit. Sweetness is balanced just enough by the hops. Very full and creamy. A little alcohol at the end. Very good.

A: Hazy brown, little head. S: Sweet, figs, malts, smoky T: Raisins, too much as a matter of fact. Some bitterness, sweet. Almost too complex, each taste spins my buds a round. No balance. M: oily coating, little carbonation. D: Tough to finish the whole bottle. I much prefer the Alt. Doesn’t do it for me at all.

7oz Draft at Uber, NYE. Tight, dense pour with cappuccino head. cool glassware too, perfect for this little beer. deep copper appearance with a heavy head, fresh nose. Flavor is hoppy and metallic, sweet and alt-malty. flat/smoky, whiff of licorice.

7 oz pour at Uber - New Year’s speical. Pours a transparent red amber - very pretty. Thick, dense head - wasn’t expecting that. Sweet aroma - lots of malts, and honey-glazed dark fruits. Flavor is right on line - very sticky sweet, but not offensively so. The flavor is still mostly malts - there’s a hop presence, but it’s very slight. Low carbonation. Surprisingly drinkable.

Bottle. Reddish brown, with a medium beige head. Nice lacing. Aroma is caramel, sweet, raisin, some chocolate, nuts. Flavor is mildly bitter, with a nice chocolate and oak finish. Delicious malt assault. Very good beer.
