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.

muzzlehatch (4425) - Burlington, Vermont, USA - FEB 16, 2005
33 cl bottle. A small fine head tops the clear light maple body...thyme and hazelnuts vie with maple for prominence in the lovely, subtle nose...dry bitter herbs hit the front of the tongue, acidic nuttines reaches forward later and just a touch (just enough) brown sugary sweetness takes the edge off the dry bitterness at the finish.

goldtwins (4320) - Nesconset, New York, USA - OCT 11, 2005
Poured a golden brown color. Sweet and fruity with raisins dominating. Dry finish. This and the double sticke are nice beers.

thedm (4116) - Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA - MAY 21, 2004
After the Fort Wayne Ale Fest 2004, BigBadBear, Flemdawg, JSquire, Hotstuff, and Silphium came over to my place for a tasting. This was our tenth brew of the evening provided by Jim (Flemdawg). This brew poured a small sized head of fine to large sized mostly lasting bubbles. The body was a uncarbonated transparent brown color. The aroma was mildly vinous with a caramel malt brown beer scent to it. The mouth feel was vinous and strong from start to finish and especially so in the aftertaste. The flavors contained notes of caramel malt and brown malts.

badgerben (4092) - Blaine, Minnesota, USA - MAR 31, 2005
Dark brown color with a very thin head. Dry wheat aroma. Dry and dusty taste of wheat and barley with, oddly enough, a vague taste of bacon. Different, but pretty tasty.

sebletitje (4011) - Enghien, BELGIUM - JAN 28, 2009
2002 bottle courtesy of retorp. Pours clear brown with thin white head. Aroma is fruity and has a damn enjoyable sugary nose. Taste malty, caramel with a light hoppy mouthfeel reminding me of a pilsner. Light touch of dark fruits - cherry - A fine Altbier

5000 (3998) - Hardened Liver, Washington, USA - APR 10, 2004
Bottle pours translucent amber, small white head, and decent lacing.   Bubblegum, banana nut bread, pears, and light smoke on the nose.   Flavor is bready, malty, and a bit nutty.   Seems rather average for an Alt.   Bottle dated 29.01, assuming its from this year.   Something is missing...
