The Kriophoros Bock is a copper/brown bock that presents with a high malt character. There are subtle toasted/nut like aromas imparted from the Munich and Vienna malts used as the core of the malt bill. The malty sweetness of the beer is wonderfully balanced by the bitterness imparted by German noble hops. As is traditional with the style, the hop aroma and flavor is low. The beer is brewed with a clean German lager yeast and fermented at low temperatures to produce a beer that is low in ester character, while at same time producing a beer that finishes clean to allow the malt character to shine through.
