Uerige Doppel Sticke

Brewed by Uerige Obergärige Hausbrauerei
Style: Altbier
Düsseldorf, Germany

Serve in Kölsch/Altbier

0.33 l fliptop bottle (Thanks to Mantlesorrow!). Reddish deep dark brown pour with a two finger thick beige head and sediments on the bottom. Intensive tart, dried fruity smell. Oily and moderate sticky mouthfeel with a liqueur/dried fruity tasted aroma escorted by caramel, chocolate and hops underpainted gently by licorice and some notes of alcohol. The medium dry finish brings citrusses, spices and gently warming alcohol along, which leaves a long tart aftertaste behind. Serious and complex rarity, which I was glad to taste…

Location: 11.2 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 1/7/12

Aroma: The nose has some roast, bread, earth, caramel, and some other malts
Appearance: A dark brown-black pour with a light brown-beige head and spotty lace
Flavor: The taste is medium (plus) sweet, with a lot of malty flavors to it
Palate: The body is medium, with a touch on the sticky side, with a little bit of heat
Overall Impression: This was a pretty interesting offering. It has a pretty solid flavor, and a decent body, I enjoyed trying this one.

330mL bottle, side-by-side with Sticke, pours a murky deep dark brown with some orange tints (darker than Sticke), with a small ring of beige head. Aroma is more like a barley wine, with rich notes of dark dried fruits, loads of caramel, toasted bread, toasted nuts, and lager yeast. Flavour is much richer than Sticke, tasting more like a barley wine, with rich sweet notes of toffee and caramel though not cloying at all, dark dried fruits (raisins, dates), some pomegranate, bready malts, molasses and some brown sugar. Much richer, sweeter and complex than Sticke. Delicious and worthy of its reputation.

Nice red-brown with tan head. Aroma complex with brown sugary malt, bread, caramel, chocolate. Medium-full body with a little alcohol. Equally complex flavors which are mostly malty and background of dark fruits and molasses. Some dryness on the finish but hops are not predominant. Very nice.

Draft. Clear dark brown color, tan edge head. Aroma of boozy chocolate liqueur. Taste is black bread, citrus, malt, subtle licorice. Interesting.

Complex, pours medium with light head, lightly barley, maybe a bourbon taste, excellent after taste with a slight sour finish, very slight. Cheers!

Very cool, uniquely shaped bottle with a stopper top. Aromas of dark fruit licorice, caramel, and some chocolate. Appearance is like a stout or a Porter, but held up to a light you can see a ruby red hue and lots of suspended sediment. Taste is thick and very malty, finishes a bit on the bitter side.

11.2oz bottle in a stem glass. Pours very deep brown with a thick, fluffy, cream-colored head. Aroma of roasted and caramel malts, some doughy/cereal notes, and a decent amount of hops for a German beer. Flavor a nice blend of everything. Smooth texture. One of Germany’s best beers.
