Sticky Beer

[beer_expert]

Has anybody else noticed that good Danish beer is sticky if you spill it. ?
I mean if you spill a little on an end table and don"t wipe it up within five minutes or so its sticky. Like you could seal envelopes with it.
I haven't really experienced this with domestic beers .
I would like to be able to copy cat the sticky so I could brew a more worldly beer.

Can't say I've ever had a Danish beer, so I'll have to take your word for it.

Now if you meant Danish, then yes I would agree. Especially bear claws. It's the apple filling.

I imagine beer with any substance to it has enough residual/complex carbs to exhibit similar behavior.
The yeast generally only ferment 70-80% of what's offered them, that's a lot of stuff left...

Cheers!

Maybe it's similar to Belgian beers where non-fermented candi sugars are added. They're not really that far apart so I'm assuming there's some cultural crossover.

Ive noticed Oscar Blues Ten Fidy RIS does that too. Mmm now I'm thirsty, thanks...

PRO TIP: Don't spill your beer, even if it's for "research."

Unfermented sugars?

My quad does that too. Like seigex said, Candi sugar is probably a good starting point if you're wanting to replicate at home.

Yeah, as was said, 'sticky' says poor attenuation or backsweetening, imho. Either or both could be the case.
