No Parabola Bottle Date?

I might be wrong...but I don't think they put the exact bottling dates on there, just the batch number.

 

I'd guess that it only has a vintage year, though I do somewhat recall there being a printed bottle date on the neck of my Abacus.

 

It's printed on the neck, usuallly pretty hard to see. Mine all say 3/14/12.

 

There's a batch number smack in the middle of the label, in red. 001 was 2010, this year is 003.

 

I love how they use a 3-digit code. Assuming this remains an annual release (a big assumption, I know), they're giving themselves room for 999 years of Parabola. Would be quite the vertical.

 

be careful, i hear imperial stouts fall off in a week...

 

Drink it first. The ink will be easier to see.
