    I need help dating my bottle. There is not date listed. It is a capped 750 and the label says 8.75%, 66 of 1152. This is whats listed here on BA under the beer
    2006 - 8.75% (draft only)
    2007 - 8.75% (500ml flip top bottles ~ very limited)
    2008 - 9.5% (750ml - capped - 1152 bottles)
    2009 - 10% (750ml cork and cage)
    2010 - 10% (750ml - cork and cage)
    2011 - not brewed
    2012 - 12.2% (750ml cork and cage

    Should I just assume this is a 2008 and the ABV is wrong above? Is there someone that has a bottle and a little better at keeping track of their cellar than I am? Any help is appreciated.

    I've read reviews of the 2008 and seen mentions of 8.75%.

    Edit: The 2008 is the one I reviewed. I wish I had mentioned what the abv was. Dang breweries and their changing the alcohol content all the time.:angry:

    Ok, thanks Bitterbill. I guess I should have delved more into the past reviews. Thanks for doing that for me! 2008 she is then.

    I love Ivan. Just cracked a 2010 with a friend's 2012. The 2010 was drinking so well. The 2012 seemed a bit green and overcarbonated.
