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.

Gravity cask at Blind Tiger. Deep brown beer with a very cloudy appearance. Aroma is very herbal and earthy. Lots of noble, herbal/spicy hops. Flavour is also hoppy with fresh cut wood, herbs and a light mintiness. Lingering herbal bitterness. Undertones of earthy grainy malts. Really tasty.

Draft. Beautiful and complex ’sticky’ alt. Rich, dark fruits dominate witha hint of liquorice. The slightly bitter finish is smooth and moreish.

Goblet with a really cool looking long neck. Pours a nice dark amber with a small off white head which turns into a ring around the glass. Aroma is malty with bread, caramel, cookie and a touch of bacon. The cookie is present in the mouthfeel along with butterscotch. This is really interesting stuff which I will certainly try again.

Bottled 33cl. Surprisingly inviting hop presence in the nose. Great balance between hops and malt throughout. Raisins showing up. Good bitterness. Dry finish. Tasty, delicious, very nicely brewed with a huge amount of character. A gem.

33cl Swingtop. Great fresh fruit and bread crust aroma. Lots of vineyard air, rich caramels, and toast. Pours a rather clouded sienna, with pale fringes and soap of off-white. Flavor highlights the caramelization process, but also immediately brings in good showings of pear brandy, almonds, light oxidation, and brilliant shining grassy hops. An interesting balance. Yeast works well here. A nice intermingling all around of all aspects. Great dry hop tooth over good caramel work and a nice yeast and alcohol signature. Dangerously drinkable and loaded with flavor. A fantastic beer.

Bottle. Had this a while back, am now updating my "rated" list. Poured a nut-brown, nutty pleasant aroma. Had a good head, and excellent flavour. Another very drinkable beer!

sliffy (2035) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - MAR 14, 2007
Bottle: Cloudy brown with an off white head. Aroma, raisins, some sweet malts, caramel, very rich. Flavor, sweet caramel, brown sugar, some fruits, a floral character, and some spice. I really should drink this more often.

wow, a very complex drink indeed. caramel and malty nose, malt & fruits flavor with a very complex semi-sweet tounge as it finished with a unique, sour twist in the finish that quickly dissapears with no aftertaste... it’s really strange, but this is a very, very well put together, unique drink.
