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.

Gusler (2655) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - JUL 4, 2005
The beer evacuates the 330ml brown swing-top bottle a somewhat hazy copper with a moderate size frothy light tan head that dissipated quickly leaving a thin coating of lace to conceal the glass. Nose is a mix of sweet malt, and hints of hops, fresh and crisp, nut-like, start is nicely malted, light at the top. Finish is moderately carbonated with the hops pleasantly spicy, extremely dry and somewhat sour aftertaste, lingers long upon the palate, a drinkable beer, but I much prefer the Dopplesticke.

Oakes (9997) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - FEB 23, 2005
UPDATED: APR 24, 2009 Golden amber colour. Slightly earthy, caramelly aroma. Chewy, woody bitterness with caramel layers and lots of earthiness. Things ease up a bit towards the finish, right when I want the intensity to increase. Sort of ashy-tasting, just like its younger brother. Solid, but unspectacular. I grasp what Uerige is aiming for, but I don’t think that this is the best the style can do - that’s Im Fuchschen.

mtoast (336) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 10, 2008
33cL bottle. Vigorous pour yields a hazy brown liquid with fairly thick tan foam that fades rapidly yet leaves decent lacing. Rich toffee like aroma, little bit of metallic earhy hoppiness in there also. Big chewy maltiness with a very dry earthy hop finish. Good stuff.

Appearance: Clear black-tea amber like . Strong tanned creamy top. Good lace created 4-.
Nose :Clean, refreshing hop nose , clean sweet malts , softer aromas of mashed malt followed 7+.
Flavor/Palate : Big malty front but not heavy as you might expect , earthy- woody flavors followed. Midlle was sweet, caramel like. Sticky texture neatly worked with showing bittering hops. Late smooth gentle warmth of alcohol. Quality is apparent.

Volgon (2698) - Manchester, New Hampshire, USA - MAY 27, 2004
Deep copper with a small thin white head. Rich caramel aroma, lingering sweet taste, malty ending. Came in a strangely shaped bottle.

Hildigöltur (5107) - København, DENMARK - JUN 21, 2004
Very cool bottle. Reddish brown coloured. Aroma of caramel, malts and some hops. Malt, fruit, hops and caramel in the flavour. Bitter finish.

Vac (2420) - Capistrano Beach, California, USA - MAY 16, 2004
This alt pours with a clear amber body with a thin head and little lacing. The aroma is sweet and malty with a brown sugar note. Not much else to the aroma. The flavor is sweet and malty but with a big amount of bitter hops for an alt. There is also a slight touch of brown sugar. Medium bodied and smooth with a touch of dryness.

Brodie (540) - Blowing Rock, North Carolina, USA - DEC 10, 2004
Spicy Spalt hop aroma, herbal and piney. Clear dark copper, thick beige head. Great balance of nutty malt and piney hops in the flavor. Lingering bitterness, with a slight hop-derived astringency. Medium-full body. A really nicely balanced German ale, very tasty.
