    Does anyone know what year this KBS bottle is from? I was trying to organize my cellar (aka closet) and came across 2 of these. I'm thinking 2009 or 2010 because I remember the signature from one of those years but there's no bottle date that I can find.

    Send it to me, and I'll examine the bottle and get back to you.

    What does the imprints on the bottom edge of the bottle say?

    Every year I have, has the year raised up on the bottom edge. Don't know if it's just dumb luck or what.

    Searching more (I am real bored) it looks like (unless this is your photo) someone has this picture posted in 2009.

    It's dated 2009 and says a few bottles from the release have the signature.

    It has "02 09" raised on the bottom edge. At first I thought this meant Feb. 2009, but I have 2 more bottles that I labeled as from 2010 and they also have the "02 09" on the bottle so I didn't know what to think (unless I was mistaken and the bottles from 2010 are actually from 2009).

    Wow, good find! I was leaning towards 2009 and I think this confirms it for me.

    Look closely on the neck under various lighting conditions. The date is on there but is probably very hard to see at this point.

    KBS bottles are a PITA to find bottling dates on. Just look on the neck in various lighting conditions and angles, it will eventually appear. Then write the date on the bottle with a sharpie.

    Seems it's probably likely to be 2009. Bottle, and that picture both point to that direction.

    On that note, get to drinking those things. The best KBS I've ever had was three years old. After 5 years it tasted like a flat chocolate stout.
