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.

Not a big fan of this one. Almost just a generic german beer. Light hops, good carboniation. Light malt aroma, sweet flavor.

Atheist_Peace (428) - Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA - MAY 28, 2011
330ml bottle. Pours brown with amber highlights, the head is off-white and dissipates quickly. I get a very nutty/fruity hit on the nose with a little bready note. There’s a nice lemon quality there too. Those nutty and fruity notes stay on the palate with a good crisp bitterness in the finish. There’s an off quality in the back end of the finish that takes away from the whole experience.

JaBier (2999) - Capital City, Ohio, USA - MAY 5, 2011
Bottle shared by my brother. Clear, yet chunky amber/copper pour with a medium tan head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, grain and some noble hops. Flavor is toffee and caramel with a dry hop finish and a touch of fruit.

Koelschtrinker (6544) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - MAY 4, 2011
Würzig-hopfiger Antrunk bei ausgiebigem Malzunterton. Dieser weitet sich nur wenig aus, da der starke Hopfen intensiver wird und kaum etwas Anderes zulässt. Passend bitter, mittelstark, inspiriert durch den Hopfen. Ungemein hopfig-würziger Abgang, voll und komplex. Lange anhaltend. Speziell!13/12/13/12//12

rodenbach99 (1750) - Longueuil, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 1, 2011
Bouteille achetée à Brulington et partagée avec Patrick. Swing-top de 11,2 oz. Cette bière est cuivrée foncée à la limite du ambrée, je n’ai pas aperçue de mousse. La bouche est bien maltée avec des notes de caramel et une touche grillée. Les houblons nobles offrent une belle touche aromatique. Le liquide prend de l’expansion en bouche. On retrouve les notes grillées du nez et bien sur toute l’amplitude des malts. La finale est toute en caramel.

SlovakSniper (1154) - Candiac, Quebec, CANADA - APR 27, 2011
Le liquide a une couleur cuivrée. La belle petite tête mousseuse manque de ténacité. Le nez détecte des notes grillées, du malt caramélisé et quelques fruits avec des effluves peu intenses de houblons nobles. Au goût, les saveurs des houblons sont plus affirmées et permettent une amertume agréablement et justement touchée par la douceur des céréales maltées. En bouche, le liquide a un corps moyen avec une effervescence normale et une texture douce. La finale me semble bien adéquate, entre le malt doux et l’amertume des houblons. Bonne bière.

rosenbergh (3145) - Helsinki, FINLAND - APR 27, 2011
330 ml bottle. From bierkompass.de.
Dark reddish brown colour with small off-white head. Caramel sweetness, molasses and mildly roasted malt in aroma. Dark fruits, caramel malt and bitter hops in flavour. Very good and interesting Altbier.

adnielsen (3108) - Denver, Colorado, USA - APR 13, 2011
Bottle @ home. Somewhat hazy, orangish amber appearance with a big foamy, tan head. Notably more hoppy than other Altbiers. Medium piney hops and a sweet caramel malty nose. Earthy, piney hoppy flavor on a quite sweet caramel malty flavor with some nuttiness. Much more aggressive flavor than the typical Uerige Alt. Somewhat hoppy bitter, dry finish. My least favorite of the Uerige Alt, Doppel Sticke, and this one.
