B. United International Inc. - Uerige "Doppelsticke"

Created and designed by Uerige Obergaerige Hausbrauerei for their very special customers in the USA only!

Uerige DoppelSticke might just be "Germany's interpretation of the classic barley-wine style ", ie a third definition next to England's "malt-driven" concoction {such as JW Lees Vintage Harvest Ale} and America's "hop-heavy" version {such as Sierra Nevada's BigFoot}.

The world-classic Duesseldorfer Altbier
**** Michael Jackson's Pocket Guide to Beer, p 36:
"UERIGE …is the most assertive, complex and characterful of the Alts"
Düsseldorfer Altbier is one of Germany's great beer styles. Uerige Alt is in my view the finest example of the style, and one of Germany's truly great beers. I love it for its big, spicy hop aroma; its firm, malty, middle; and its confidently dry, appetising, finish. No short cuts, no compromises: a beer that punches it weight.

As if this were not enough, Zum Uerige has in Doppel Sticke invented a new variation on the style. The hop aroma is huge and herbal. The palate is rich, oily, enwrapping. The finish is full of restrained power. No alcohol burn, just a warm glow.”
Michael Jackson 2005, press release

"The complexity here is enough to drive one mad."
