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.

yobdoog (1835) - Woodridge NY, New York, USA - SEP 9, 2007
Nice brown color,not much head. Sweet malt aroma, mild. Much better than I expected to be honest. Was unprepared. Balanced hops with malt seetness. Not too complex just tasty. Reuse this one for homebrew.

Elwood (1834) - Between a rock and a hard place, Virginia, USA - SEP 12, 2009
Serving: 330 ml bottle. Appearance: Orange-brown with a large, rocky, off-white head. Great head retention. Aroma: A little fruity from the hops, nuts and grain notes from the malt. Fairly mild overall. Taste:Grainy with notes of caramel malt, light fruit notes, and perhaps a touch of wood. Palate: Medium carbonation with a light, dry mouthfeel and a medium-short finish. Overall: I was told this is pretty much a dead on alt. If so, I am a fan. I found this one to be quite drinkable and would definitely recommend giving it a go.

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.

jaghana (1803) - Strasbourg (France), FRANCE - DEC 2, 2011
Bottle 50cl, from Quack-duck thanks a lot ! A clear amber-red beer with good head and lacing. Nose is malty and caramel like. Aroma is malty, toasted, caramel and nutty / coconut notes, medium sweet, nice hops bouquet, floral, chocolate notes, dry fruit hints, long bitterness on aftertaste. A great Alt bier, thanks very much Stephan.

YourDarkLord (1800) - Urbana, Illinois, USA - DEC 20, 2004
Amber body with off-white head. Caramel, hops, some anise in the nose. Medium bodied with nice carbonation. Flavor was moderately sweet and pleasant. Probably one of the better alts I’ve had.

11026 (1772) - Alabama, USA - FEB 11, 2005
Bottle. Brown in color, not much head formation at all and minimal lacing left behind. Aroma is raisinish, perhaps a little molasses. Body seems a bit light, soft carbonation. Decent malt and nice hops in the finish. A bit sour. I am not that impressed with this, perhaps an oxidized bottle

GreatLibations (1771) - Last Supper, Arizona, USA - MAY 19, 2006
Pours an amber copper color with a shallow creamy froth. Comes in a bottle shaped like a German granade. Aroma is of malted biscuits. Very nice. I am already impressed. I am waiting to take a sip. Trying to imagine the texture and flavor. Here I go. WOW, not knowing what to expect at all, this has turned into a very surprising result. I am still impressed. Flavors are dry and malty with a fresh biscuit tropshire. A creamy texture like an English bitter. A nicely ballanced sour bittering on the finish. This is a brew you can drink all day. Well ballanced, alcohol is well hidden and flavors are perfect. I love it when the bitterness is consumed with a malty backbone. Keeps you hanging in the ballance. Highly recommended.

kwoeltje (1765) - Manchester, Missouri, USA - JUN 5, 2011
(bottle) deep copper/brown with tan head and nice lace. Aroma of sweet malt. Flavor is sweetish malt, caramel, with some solid hops (pine/resin) in the finish.
