Dividing Time is a rare collaboration beer with Private Press Brewing, a Santa Cruz-based club-only production brewery specializing in barrel-aged stouts and barleywines. Before spending one year in bourbon barrels, this unique beer takes a spin on the traditional Barleywine style by incorporating premium Munich malts, creating the exclusive "Munichwine" style that Private Press is renowned for. The result is a nutty, full-bodied intricate flavor profile highlighted with a toasty bread character that meets its match by way of bourbon. The starring malts accentuate the deep, rich color and smooth, velvety mouthfeel, including Munich 10L, Golden Promise, and Special B.

Bottle. Pours clear chestnut, small tan head, good lacing. Aroma is dark sugars, bourbon, toffee, oak, vanilla. Flavor is medium sweet, medium bitter, a bit hot. Medium body. So this is more bitter and less full in body than a PP beer, but its cool to dig on the clear blending of brewing styles that took place here.

Capped 355 from the brewery. Pours clear dark brown with a slight tan head. Aroma of roasty barley and bourbon. Full bodied. Not dry. Flavor is pale stone fruit, roasty barley and bourbon. Not exactly bitter, but something along the lines of heat is helping that. A very tasty sipper.
