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.

kiefdog (1826) - Tampa, Florida, USA - DEC 18, 2008
On tap at the Oldsmar Tap House (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark brown hazy color with a frothy white head. Aroma is malty and sweet with notes of hops, phenol, honey and slight notes of raisins and ripe dark fruit. Flavor is also sweet and malty with notes of ripe dark fruit, raisins, hints of prunes, caramel, and spice. Generally medium body with a sweet and malty finish.

Crushed with Jakebra. Surprised this one is only 6.5 abv. So much body it feels like it has to be higher. Very bitter but also compllex flavor. Gives me a bit more faith in Uerige after the last two Ive tried.

Quack-Duck (5601) - Down South, GERMANY - DEC 16, 2008
bottle, díky pivnizube! Dark brwon colour, slightly hazy, medium-sized beige head. Intensive malty nose. Full-bodied, intensively malty and hoppy at the same time. Typical Altbier flavours, but more intensive than usual. Hints of chocolate, nuts and raisins. Resiny-grassy hops balance this off. A delicious brew.

Beerlando (3276) - Orlando, Florida, USA - DEC 9, 2008
Draft at Redlight Redlight. Pours a hazy, dark, orange-amber color. A foamy, off-white head settles slowly, sticky bands of lacing remaining behind to coat the glass. Aromas include caramel, dried fig, raisin, and hints of strawberry and red apple. A decent helping of floral, earthy hops is there, lending balance to the nose. Flavors show more of the same, floral hops turning peppery and spicy, lending further bitterness and depth to the caramel and dried fruit notes. There might be a hint of candied nuts within, as well. The mouthfeel is substantial and moderately carbonated, finishing kind of dry and yeasty. This is a very nice Alt.

redlight (2209) - Winter Park, Florida, USA - DEC 9, 2008
draft at redlight redlight. Hoppy, piney nose with caramel malt notes. Pours a golden amber with a thick white head. Hoppy bitterness is the first flavor to assert itself. Rich caramelly malts come next, caramelized sugars, finishes with an almost lager-like bite, very crisp finish. Very enjoyable, and fresh tasting.

GodOfThunder (1201) - Orlando, Florida, USA - DEC 7, 2008
Draft at Redlight. Pours an amber color with a corn, grain and brown sugar smell. Taste is slightly sweet and slightly bitter from the hops. Good beer.

DSG (2635) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - NOV 26, 2008
Bottle. Dark brown color with deep red hues and a very bubbly medium-sized head. Aroma of toasted malt, nuts, fruits, light floral hints and some slightly herbal hops. Sweetish malty flavor with some toasted bread, caramel, nuts (including some chestnut notes) and a bitter herbal finish with faint earthy notes. Medium-bodied. A good quaffable beer, I hope I’ll get to try some more Stickes in the future.

nearbeer (2572) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - NOV 1, 2008
33 cl. Bottled on 02,11. Code 1202. Lightly hazy chestnut with a lasting eighth-inch cream. Frosting all over the glass. Aroma of cocoa, plum, apple and earth-spiced molasses. Front flavors of raisin and apple coated in caramel, chocolate and some earthy spice. Slowly turns more roasty with cocoa, toasted nut and woody flavors that provide a nice bittersweet finish. Medium body is smooth, lightly tingly and finishes dry.
