From Heavy Seas:
BALTIMORE, MD --- Heavy Seas Beer is pleased to introduce the last beer in its draft-
only program, the Desert Island Series. This program features “one-off” releases of
beers designed by individual members of the Heavy Seas brewing team. Each beer in
the series will be limited to only 100 barrels available at select locations within Heavy
Seas’ 18 state distribution footprint. This limited release, a Doppelsticke Alt at 9% ABV
and 75 IBU, will be available in December.
ell-schteek-uh,” this is the equivalent of a German Barleywine. Sticke loosely translates
to "secret.” Sticke Altbiers were/are traditionally brewed as stronger versions of altbier
in Dusseldorf breweries as a thank you to their regular patrons. This is our "Double"
Secret version of an Alt. The brew is full-bodied and well-hopped, with a surprising
balance between bitterness and bready-malty sweetness, complimented by subtle notes
of chocolate malt. The beer is dark-copper to brown in color. The complex flavor belies
its smooth, clean finish.”
