    the dates were not easy to see before but i've looked hard at both bombers and 6 packs and have not found a date in a few months. has anyone else noticed this?

    Its probably old as hell, the new bottle dates are bright yellow and super easy to see

    Nah, they're super hard to see.
    I gave up searching for those dates, and now only drink stuff with easier to read bottle dates.

    definitely not older than the batches with the black text. perhaps there was a batch between black and yellow that wasn't dated?

    I have mostly recently seen bottles of Denogg stamped with 08/09/2013 in the yellow -- have not seen anything more recent.

    1500 and Aroma Coma have been dated, but I have not seen dates on their other bottles recently.

    I saw Aroma Prieta at the brewery with an 8/16 bottle date in yellow. I don't really buy Drake's outside of the seasonals, though. Their regular lineup pimps mediocrity pretty hard.

    1500 is a solid beer.

    1500 and IPA both have the new yellow dates on the bottles.
