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.

noncaloric (684) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - MAY 10, 2009
Pours a murky brown with a large, active off-white heat, which simmers down to a lasting film of bubbles and a network of lace. Aroma is faint, what’s there is resinous nuts, a bit of caramel. Flavor begins with resinous malts and hops bitterness, a lot of nuts and tea here. Some frutiness accompanies the alcohol warmth later on, but the beer remains lightly bitter throughout, with the nuts remaining on the linger. Warm on the palate, very soft and sudsy. Good, but missing the caramel that makes the ordinary Uerige alt such a wonderful sessionable malt bomb.

jjuf1853 (951) - Land O Lakes, Florida, USA - MAY 4, 2009
On tap at Oldsmar Tap House. Pours a slightly murky brown color with an off-white head. Biscuity malt aroma mixed with an assortment of spices. Low carbonation with a creamy mouthfeel. Good mixture of flavors with caramel and malt sweetness in the forefront. Nice aftertaste.

smith4498 (2150) - Miami, Florida, USA - APR 30, 2009
Pours cloudy brown with white head. It’s got lots of little particles suspended throughout. Doughy aroma with some spices. Caramel malt flavor. Medium body with tongue tingling carbonation. Decent and interesting.

Beershine (4561) - The Sunshine State, Florida, USA - APR 24, 2009
Mousy brown color, clear until the sediment is poured in. Lingering beige cap. Sweet doughy aroma, cookie dough with raisins. Low carbonation, very soft mouthfeel. Interesting flavors, the bitterness is pronounced of the herbal, spicy zone. The sweet malt balances it out. Very interesting brew, can’t wait to visit Dusseldorf...

BroSpud (1124) - , Massachusetts, USA - APR 21, 2009
11.2oz flip top bottle. Possibly the coolest bottle ever. Interesting beer. Pours a hazy brown with lots of sediment. A bit pricey but worth checking out at least for a taste. Looking forward to trying doppel sticke.

shadey (1618) - Rochester, New York, USA - APR 18, 2009
Bottle from BOTW. I picked it up from the store the same week it arrived and it was already about 6 months after the bottling date. Bottled 10.08. The pour is a hazy amber with a white head of tight bubbles. Aroma is malty and spicy and a touch doughy. Flavors are a touch bitter and spicy. Definitely easy to drink, but not as special as I would have anticipated. Perhaps the age has dulled this one. It’s really a shame that we in states can’t get European beers faster.

swoopjones (3247) - Buffalo, New York, USA - APR 12, 2009
On tap at Brick Store Pub, Decatur Georgia. Caramel colored pour. Malty, biscuity aroma. Taste was underwhelming but clean. Caramel malts, some fruitiness. Balanced but not terribly exciting

SSSteve (2923) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - APR 12, 2009
deep murky brown under a huge rocky tan head. malty, bready, caramel aroma. flavors are earthy malts and caramel. medium bodied. not bad but this has nothing on doppel sticke...the altbier beast.
