High quality German malts and noble hops are used to create this round flavour. Stickebier is a special, beefed up version of altbier brewed only a few times a year. Stickebier has all the attributes of a standard altbier, but at higher levels. More malty richness and more hoppy bitterness along with a higher ABV makes for a very full flavoured brew, but still features a great balance of flavours.
