    I know this has probably been answered before but can't find info on it. I am trying to complete a KBS vertical and I want to find out how you can tell the years apart. If anyone has any info and can help me out, it is much appreciated. Thanks

    The bottled on date is on the neck of the bottle (in black ink). It's pretty hard to find sometimes, but when you get it in the right light you can see it. If you want my opinion, KBS is best fresh.

    This exactly for the '10 and '11 vintages. '09 will have the IBU and ABV writing on a diagonal on the neck label. '12 and '13 are pretty clear.

    Edit: I could take a picture of any of those but '10 if need be for you.

    Awesome. Thanks guys. Anyone know about the older vintages 06-08. I know that those have the full Kentucky Breakfast Stout name on them (I have two bottles) but not sure how to tell them apart.

    Let me drink them and I can tell you which is which.

    The year is actually stamped on the bottom of the bottle, into the glass. Raised numbering rather.
