Collaboration with Wander Brewing
The origins of this beer style touch the ninth century B.C in Northern Bavaria. Clean, dry, and smooth in counterintuitive fashion to the expectation of the Dark Munich and Roasted Barley malts it includes. A dark beer for light beer drinkers and an homage to Solemn Oath’s past.
Brewed in collaboration with Bellingham, Washington’s Wander Brewing and their brewer/former SOB Lou Waldmeir. Part of the Oathbreaker series, we make this beer for our friends and colleagues that have moved on to other breweries and opportunities. We miss you all.

Served from the can in a Lagunitas mason jar.
Pours a dark midnight sienna topped by a finger of bone khaki foam. The nose comprises mild roast, wheat toast, a touch of hard water, and a kiss of cocoa powder. The taste brings in more of the same, the breadiness of the toast coming through a bit more, and some pine sap showing up to provide some variety. The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a sorta/kinda drying finish. It's not the best schwarz I've had recently, a bit on the astringently bready and pine-y side for my liking (they're not overtly strong here, just more so than I would like in the style), but it's decidedly drinkable nonetheless.

Pours a dark cocoa/black color with no sediment/haze. Head pours thin and off-white colored. Head is thin, about an 1/8th of an inch thick, but dissipates quickly to a slight ring around the edge and some islands, some lacing is present. Some malt and banana on the nose. Taste is classic schwarzbier, light refreshing malts, just a touch heavier than your average german lager. Some banana bread and cloves on the pallet, hop alpha acids are very muted. Carbonation is medium strength but lacks a pronounced taste. Mouthfeel is slightly chewy but overall light.
