Notes

Dark Knight Lager
Noble Savage Brewing

Beer Description:
This beer was inspired by a connection made through a brewing discussion online. An East Coast brewer named Brian Knight took the time to share knowledge and help shape this recipe. Though we have never met, his input played a role in bringing this beer to life. The name “Dark Knight Lager” is a nod to that influence and the collaborative spirit of homebrewing.

Tasting Notes:
Dark brown to near black in color with ruby highlights and a tan head. The aroma offers light roasted malt, subtle cocoa, and toasted bread notes. Flavor is smooth and balanced with mild roast character, gentle chocolate tones, and a slightly nutty finish. The Saaz hops provide a soft bitterness that complements the malt without overpowering it. Clean fermentation from Lutra Kveik results in a crisp, easy-drinking dark lager.

Overall Impression:
A smooth, approachable dark lager with balanced malt character and a clean finish. Designed to be flavorful without heaviness, making it an easy-drinking option for both light beer drinkers and dark beer fans.

Brewer’s Notes:
Brewed with American and German malts and fermented with Lutra Kveik yeast to achieve a clean lager profile without traditional cold fermentation.
