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.

dortmunder (961) - Herdecke, GERMANY - JAN 18, 2005
UPDATED: JAN 19, 2005 Draught. Clear, dark copper colour. Foamy, lacey head. Caramelly, slightly spicy nose. The taste is roastmalty, slightly sweet. Hints of vanilla. Ends in a spicy, bitter finish, which is quite lasting. Smooth mouthfeel, creamy texture. I absolutely love this beer.

Delicious. Dark red body with creamy, almost mousse-like head. Bitter but well balanced with an earthy malt flavor. Primo, man.

DCopperfields (145) - Alabama, USA - MAR 8, 2004
Beatiful brown, stumpy-bottomed bottle with flip-cap. Clear, copper-amber with a wispy head. Lightly caramel aroma with toasted butterscotch note and earthy malt complexity. Initailly clean, smooth and slightly metallic. Buttery, caramel note and a succinct of sweetness. As it warms, hops become apparent in a fragrant, slightly bittering effect, resulting in a rounded, delightful beer. cheers

Bottle. Sweet dried cherry/raisin and bread aroma. Orange brown color with slight head. A strong buttered bread flavor throughout - hint of raisin, orange peel and walnut. End taste of hops and nuts. Light acidity. Complex and well blended.

Koelschtrinker (6544) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - MAY 4, 2011
Würzig-hopfiger Antrunk bei ausgiebigem Malzunterton. Dieser weitet sich nur wenig aus, da der starke Hopfen intensiver wird und kaum etwas Anderes zulässt. Passend bitter, mittelstark, inspiriert durch den Hopfen. Ungemein hopfig-würziger Abgang, voll und komplex. Lange anhaltend. Speziell!13/12/13/12//12

Bottled on 25.10. Code 11 26

I have to admit, I’m a bit of a "bottle whore" and that’s what attracted me to this beer... a well crafted and unique swing-top with sparse labels and a healthy dose of raised lettering in the glass, including a line of braille at the bottom! Excellent!

Appearance was an almost-mahogany body, slightly hazed with a creamy, little head. Aromas were well malted with raisin, honey & caramel over grains and earthiness... an overall impression of a sweet breakfast cereal. Nicely balanced flavors with sweet malts proving dominance. Smooth and slightly thick on the tongue with a touch of alcohol at the end that made me smile. Quite delicious. Hoping to find a bigger bottle.

kramer (3376) - Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 30, 2005
11.2 oz. bottle. Pours a deep garnet red with average white head that settles to a film rather quickly. Aroma is quite good, heavy on malt, with plum, purne, a little bubblegum, and some resiny hop. Flavor is very nice, very malty with a vinous finish on the first sip. This has a really long lasting finish due to its mouth coating palate. Mouthfeel is perfect, just the right amount of carbonation sot that it doesn’t interfere with tasting the flavor. Hop bitterness comes out more as the beer warms and really balances the malt well. This stuff’s pretty awesome, very recommended.

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"!
