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.

Reddish brown with white head. My first altbier. I’ll need to sample more to get a better feel of this style. Enjoyed it though.

[bottle] Murky brown appearance with a very minimal off-white head. Sweet caramel malt aroma. Nutty malt flavors, with more caramel/toffee sweetness. Very roasty finish, with a slick mouthfeel.

Minimal liight tannish head that dissipates quickly. Nice amber brown hue. Fruity and toffee is the aroma that stands out. Medium sweetness that is balanced nicely with medium bitterness. Full body with a nice creamy texture. Somewhat long bitterness in the finish.

Bottle. Pours with an amber color and a huge head with excellent lacing. Yes the Germans know how to give head. In any case this is from my hometown so I am biased. It has a nice malty aromas and great flavors that evolve when the beer warms up a bit. Initial bitterness is replaced by a bit more sweetness, I can discern figs and almonds. Finishes off again with some bitter malts. Head and shoulders over the standard issue alt.

Bottle, nice deep brown color with a thin tan head. Aromas of noble hops with a toasted malt background. Similar flavor, malty and hoppy all the same. Very smooth and crisp. A very nice beer.

This one smells good. The aroma has toffee, caramel, and toasted malt, wild yeast, and hops. The appearance is red brown with a bubbly two finger head. The flavor however is not that good. It has the aroma elements but also cardboard and vinegar. The off flavors give it a stale sourness. Heck maybe it is a true "old ale" in the stale sense. The palate is sticky. Overall it’s a good smelling beer that has a problem with some sourness.
