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.

Murky, muddy dark-brown pour with a small white cap. Lots of mixed fruits and yeast, leading to a bready malt aroma. Subtle and light, this has a malt contingency mixed with some woody notes and a small earthen hop to finish the pull. Caramel malts are integrated, again subtly, without being "hidden". Woody afternotes show this brew’s complexity from beginning to finish. The oily mouthfeel makes the pull highly drinkable, and would make for a good session brew.

’01 Vintage. Brown sugar and vinuous aroma. Deep copper appearance with a full palate. Light malt flavors with some dust. Probably past its prime for a few years. Need to re-rate after sampling a fresher batch.

Quite nice. More malty and less hoppy than the regular Alt from this brewery. Almost some dopplebock qualities. Serving: Bottle

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.

Grima (1200) - Saarburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, GERMANY - DEC 16, 2010
After a year’s storage in cellar, the famous Uerige Sticke will be rated now! Apparently they have screwed down the alcohol content, because my version has only 6.0%. The beer in glass is a typical german Altbier, nut brown beer with a large, fine and very durable cream crown. The smell is revealed bitter roasted malt with chocolate-caramel aromas. The beer starts heavily roasted malt and pleasantly bitter and very spicy, slightly bitter chocolaty tones play in the background. By the further course, the hop bomb explodes more and more, and the beer reminds me on a good American IPA. The finish gets more chocolaty, and there, the hops are joining a long finish. Handle an absolute top beer. Fresh it wouldn’t probably taste better than the "one-year stored version"!

LIght hop aroma and copper in color. Large airy head on initial pour but, quickly fades away. Not much malt taste but hop bitterness is clearly present. Has a nice clean finish.

Pours amber with notes of malt. The palate shows a nice medium of malt and hops with a crisp interesting finish.
