    I have a bottle of Meantime Smoked Bock. There is a bottle date.
    Not sure which is the correct date.

    Line 1 BBE /6/10/14- this is probably the best by date(?)
    Line 2 L1229031309 Any idea what this means?

    I was looking at a bottle of their Naval College Old Porter and wondered the same thing. Wish I could help.

    The Naval College porter is excellent. I did a review of it on youtube.
    I actually found the bottle date on the Smoked Bock. The back label says its on the shoulder of the bottle in the front.
    My bottling date is just below the label. There are two lines of code. The top code is the BB date.

    However, I didn't see a code on the Naval College Old Porter.

    Often, I find that I need a bright flashlight to find the code.

    Yeah I love that beer. At $8.99, I always buy a couple.
