hopIQ found 10 beers with the same bitter and toasty character as Sticke Alt. A stronger reading of the Düsseldorf altbier, on pilsner malt with Cara 60 and 160, hopped with Northern Brewer and Hallertau. Toasted bread and caramel lead, with walnut and a dark raisin note behind them. Where the style usually stays polite, the bitterness here is emphatic at 74 IBU, herbal and firm, and it runs the full length of the palate. The body is medium and the finish long, dry and grippy. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
