Just got done looking at their website. Need clarification... "Released in limited quantities in December, Harvest Ale gives a rich, strong flavour, beloved by beer connoisseurs. It can be laid down like a vintage wine for enjoying in later years." Would this mean 2011 would be released in Dec. 2012 so always a year behind or would it be 2012 released in 2012? Cheers!
My bottle of 1997, on the back label, says "Limited Edition 1st December 1997" so I guess the beer's bottling year date and edition date are one in the same.
