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.

On draught. Cloudy brown pour with a medium frothy off white head. Aroma of malt, caramel and smoke. Taste of bacon, yeast, malt and faint spices. Lasting slightly bitter smokey finish.

CanIHave4Beers (2000) - Des Moines, Iowa, USA - NOV 5, 2009
Pours a hazy brownish red ting with a big fluffy Uerige style head. The aroma is of coffee, milk chocolate, light caramel, and some herbal hops. The flavor is nicely hoppy (noble of course) with some mild but pleasant mineral character and a good roastiness. The beer is largely dry with little hints of caramel sweetness. I think I like this just slightly less than the regular alt, but I rated them the same so perhaps a side by side is warranted.

Gusgus (192) - Mölndal, SWEDEN - OCT 12, 2009
Bottle. Deep amber to brown. Perfumy, fruity aroma. Nuts and bananas. Belgian notes galore. Dry, sourish taste. Hints of apple. Not the most sharp and fresh beer aroud, but more like a mediocre hombrebrew. Probably not the freshest hops in this one.

Elwood (1834) - Between a rock and a hard place, Virginia, USA - SEP 12, 2009
Serving: 330 ml bottle. Appearance: Orange-brown with a large, rocky, off-white head. Great head retention. Aroma: A little fruity from the hops, nuts and grain notes from the malt. Fairly mild overall. Taste:Grainy with notes of caramel malt, light fruit notes, and perhaps a touch of wood. Palate: Medium carbonation with a light, dry mouthfeel and a medium-short finish. Overall: I was told this is pretty much a dead on alt. If so, I am a fan. I found this one to be quite drinkable and would definitely recommend giving it a go.

Bottle. Clear light reddish brown pour, with thin off-white head. Dark fruits, nuts, sweet malt, caramel, and toasted bread. Light mouthfeel. Nice beer.
