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.

Pours a murky light brown color with a large creamy beige head. Nose is massive amounts of toffee and brown sugar. Taste is the same with some candied apples on the back end. Very malty and delicious with a moderate mouth feel that is drinkable and good.

Bottle, John’s Grocery, Iowa City, Iowa. Very unusual yellow-rusty pour, small white layer of fine head. Mint, candied orange, blood, earth. Fine, salty/dry bitterness, with a woody, old fruitcake finish. Very refreshing, and I dig the dryness, but overall it feels a little bit dull. Maybe a fresher example would have more life.

I picked this bottle up @ Rozi’s in Lakewood, OH for $3.99. Aroma had a floral bouquet and the entire bottle poured nicely into my Bitburger glass. Dark brown color and a hoppy flavor with hints of smoke and caramel. Alcohol was well hidden, I could taste yeast undertones. This beer lived up to it’s cost and its not just the bottle you are paying for. I am going to re-use the bottle for home brewing unless somebody has a way to make it into a bong. Thanks to bkelly68 for pointing it out to me.

Bottle from City Beer in SF. Pours dark brown with a large, lasting off-white head. Malty aroma with caramel and brown sugar. Flavor is lots of caramel malt, oak, very slight fruity notes, and mild hops. Smooth palate, medium-full body. Good for the style.

Dark red with some bits in solution and a nice beige head. Quality German caramel malt and floral hop aroma with notes of brown bread and raisin. A little tart and a bit thin. The flavor is not as good as the aroma would suggest. It has noticeable hop flavor and bitterness. Not bad but I fear it has not traveled well.

Amber color with a small beige head. Aroma and flavor of caramel, toffee, raisons, figs and dark fruits. Has a little hop bitterness in the finish.
