This smoky dark ale is inspired by Switchback Founder Bill Cherry’s time in Kansas City. Blackstrap Ale harkens to KC’s iconic BBQ tradition with its combination of sweet and smoke, derived from an outrageous use of smoked, roasted, and caramelized malts with a hint of dark brown sugar. Drink up and dream of burnt ends with this explosion of bold and smoky flavors.

    On tap at the brewery. Deep amber colour with a beige creamy head, good retention and creamy lacing. Smoky aromas of roasted malts with hints of molasses and caramel. The taste is less smoky, but shows the roasted, caramel malts with the hops helping balance with a dry finish. Hints of smokiness lingers on the tongue. Well done to not be too rich, syrupy, blending sweetness, smokiness and hoppiness.
