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.

asheft (2032) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 5, 2010
[bottle from Bierkompass.de] Potent caramel toffee aroma with some brown sugar and significant grapefruit hops. Hazy dark bronze covered by a thin, off-white sheet. Spicy caramel flavour with some pleasant sourness and strong bitterness that is in good balance with the sugary caramel/toffee. Notes of bitter grapefruit and dried fruit. Medium body, moderate carbonation, moderately bitter finish.

oh6gdx (15510) - Vasa, FINLAND - APR 28, 2010
Bottled (from bierkompass.de). Deep rubyish amber colour, mediumsized brown head. Aroma is some caramel malts, crisp bisquits, some nuttyness as well as mildly toasted notes. Flavour is quite floral and grassy hops along with some earth and also mild notes of caramel and alcohol. Also some mild notes of fruityness. Also some mild chocolaty notes in the finish. A very nice strong Alt.

beeryum (652) - Norcross, Georgia, USA - JAN 16, 2006
Old notes from a tasting last year. Brown pour, decent head. Nutty malty aromas, and a bit doughy. Sweet malty flavors, some dough/bread, some nuts, some wood. Clean finish. Fairly enjoyable, and surprisingly bigger than I expected for an altbier.

ehhdayton (1188) - USA - JUN 21, 2005
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.

puzzl (3071) - New York, New York, USA - FEB 2, 2006
Very hoppy though light aroma much like an APA, though with touches of eastern european hops. Pours burnt orange with nice though fizzy head. Taste doesn’t match up with APA so much as a pilsner in that it has nice hopping but a balanced hop backbone that is medium thickness though still assertive.

porterhouse (1481) - Alna, Maine, USA - DEC 15, 2005
(Bottle, "bottled on 31.01.") Pours a brownish amber with a smallish biege head. Aroma: maltiness plus some brown sugar and caramel. Pretty good lacing. Great body, mouthfeel nice and chewy. Flavor: reserved malt caramel sweetness with some sourishness in finish - don’t think this is a bad bottle, so guess the sourishness is supposed to be there.
