Commercial Description:
Carnival comes but once a year - and you can only enjoy Sticke beer at Uerige twice a year. It contains more malt and hops and has a higher alcoholic content than normal Altbier. And our guests appreciate it! In earlier days it used to be whispered hand over mouth that Uerige was serving Sticke again because the master brewer had portioned the ingredients too generously. With today's fully-automated operation, this could not happen. So Sticke beer is brewed intentionally - and this certainly doesn't negatively effect either its quality or taste.

The two dates every year are always the same. The third Tuesday in January and October are the two Sticke days.

[Bottled on 27.10] Pours a murky dark amber with a with a small but thick creamy off-white frothy head. Grassy aroma with notes of oxidized malt. Grassy and earthy flavors, light chewy toasted crystal malt, faintly nutty, a bit of toffee. Unusually sweet in that its overall a dry beer. Medium body, sugary and a bit gritty, with soft fluffy carbonation. I like the doppel-sticke but I think this bottle is probably a bit past its prime.

Funky cool bottle. Took a while to figure out whether this was the Sticke or the Alt... but the Uerige website was helpful. Pour is a medium brown with a fairly large head at first (almost a light brown color) but it has all but died in the time it took me to figure out which beer this was. Aromas are earthy, with sweetness that is brown sugar and dates. Flavor is odd... I expected things to be sweet from the aroma, but there is a sharp bitter edge throughout, and the finish is especially jagged. Allmost comes off as peat on the finish. This is an odd beer that just doesn’t work for me.

Cloudy dark brown with a thin off-white head. Pleasantly earthy hop aroma. taste is malty with a strong undercurrent of bitterness and a dark, spicy hop finish. Very earthy and solid. Very tasty.

Pop top bottle- Amber brown pour with a tan foam head. Aroma of brown sugar, dark fruits, caramel. Smooth on the palate and malty but with a bit of a dry aftertaste and tinge of bitters. Good Alt and good flavor, a little bitter and earthy on the back end.

Bottle shared by the_Captain. ver complex aroma of brown sugar, malt, dark fruit and b yeast. Didn’t really taste like it smelled but got better as it got warmer. Nice hazy brown color with an off white creamy head. tasted like brown sugar and grass or earthy notes. My only complaint was that it was very very dry. Kind of reminded me of an English bitter but very dry finish. Good brew though.
