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.

A sweet smell, but not very sweet on the tongue. This is not a favorite style of mine, but I enjoyed this. Very drinkable. Maybe too drinkable considering the price. I would have like some more complexities. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

330mL bottle, side-by-side with Doppel Sticke, pours a very murky dark brownish orange with a small ring of off-white head. Aroma of caramel malts, wet bread, lager yeast, toasted nuts and some dark fruits. Flavour is quite nutty, woody and a bit herbally - wet bread, toasted nuts, some slight caramel notes, some dry fruit and some slight floral notes. Finishes dry, semi-bitter, bready and nutty - medium astringency lingers. Quite good, though I don’t understand the hype on this one.

jaghana (1802) - Strasbourg (France), FRANCE - DEC 2, 2011
Bottle 50cl, from Quack-duck thanks a lot ! A clear amber-red beer with good head and lacing. Nose is malty and caramel like. Aroma is malty, toasted, caramel and nutty / coconut notes, medium sweet, nice hops bouquet, floral, chocolate notes, dry fruit hints, long bitterness on aftertaste. A great Alt bier, thanks very much Stephan.

TheEpeeist (2366) - Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 22, 2011
11.2 oz, bottled 01/11. Poured into a Captain Lawrence snifter and got a nice coconut white head atop clear garnet brown. Nose is sweet, nutty; maybe pecans, caramel and molasses; even some stewed prunes in there. Taste is a letdown after the malty subtleties of the aroma. Watery caramel and muddled grassy bitterness finishing with black pepper. Could be okay for a few pints.

Cuso (1476) - Bratislava, SLOVAK REPUBLIC - NOV 4, 2011
Bottle from pivnizub, děkuji. Dark amber color with small beige head. Aroma of dried red fruit, flowery hints, caramel. Taste, starts as little bit as medicine, then continues with caramel, malt, some brandy like hints. Long bitter, alcoholic finish. Nice.

laiti (998) - Tampere, FINLAND - OCT 30, 2011
50 cl bottle, rated on 19.10.2010
Brown-orange colour, murky. Aroma has solvent, some berries typical to Danish ales and some pineapple-like fruit. Flavour is sweetish with malt and Danish berries. The berries and solvent do disturb a bit, but this is still somewhat interesting.

Kräftiger röstmalziger Duft mit leicht weinigen Zügen. Röstmalziger Start . Mitte schokoladig-malzig mit weinartigen Zügen. Malzig und bitter ausklingend. Einfach nur gut.Test vom 5.6.2010, Gebinde: Glasflasche
