Uerige Sticke
Brilliantly clear deep amber beer with a billowing tan head floating on top. Large bubbles slide down the glass leaving a nice lacing on the glass. Surprisingly clear for a bottle conditioned brew. Great sweet roasted malt aroma, with faint figgyness. I pick up a little spice in the nose but its very subtle. Slightly sweet flavor is almost balanced by a crisp spicy bitterness. Roasted malt, caramel, toffee, cinnamon. Finishes dryish and very clean despite the sweetness up front. Quite drinkable, very nice but a little sweet for my taste. I prefer the Uerige standard over this special version but both are quite good.
