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.

Pours a hazy light orange brown color with huge froathy billowing offwhite head. Aroma is earthy woodsy hops. Flavor is malty slightly bittersweet, earthy oaky hops, some doughiness, decently dry and hoppy bitter finish. Overall, complex yet simple beer, definitely worth a try.

Might be a case where the anticipation drowned out the the flavor. Defintiely thinner than I antcipated, with a metallic hop presence that I found a little off-putting. Still, I really enjoyed the way it sat in the mouth. This was overall a very interesting beer, but will never be favorite.

Medium beige head atop a clear copper body. Aroma is light sweet, caramel, light grassy/herbal. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, some fruity, some alcohol evident, finishing herbal/earthy. Medium body. Very drinkable.

Terminus (2538) - Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA - DEC 6, 2005
bottle-thanks whaleman for the recomendation! pours copper with a small soapy off-white head and sparse lacing. aromatically, this beer has alot of complexity for the style-carmel, cheeries, fresh cut wood, toasty maltness, some faint cinammon, and spice chracacter with some nice chocolate notes. nice body-full and slick. flavors are very malty, chocolate, light bitterness from some earthy hops. very nice and probably the best alt i have ever had!

Poured a golden brown color. Sweet and fruity with raisins dominating. Dry finish. This and the double sticke are nice beers.

durhambeer (2028) - Durham, North Carolina, USA - OCT 18, 2008
Bottle. Dark hazy brown pour with a bit of floating sediment. The date indicated this bottle was at least a year old. Fluffy off white head and great lacing. German hops and malty caramel on the nose and tongue. Dirty/earthy notes. Bitter finish. Not as sweet as I expected. Certainly quite different from the Doppel Sticke.

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