    Liquor Depot in New Britain. They have a bunch of bombers. Expiration 6/23/12. $8.99 (better deal than Julio's even with CT tax). Based on the best Sculpins I've ever had on a scale of 1-3, I'd give the one I bought a 2-

    Is there actually an expiration date on the bottles now? What is the format of the date?

    Sculpin bottles have a clear best by date on the neck. No decoding necessary

    Since when, I know they had a hard to read best by date on them last I saw last year. I know they had plans to make it easier to read. I am wondering if the bottle dating is the old bottle dating or the new bottle dating is now in affect?

    Old format was :five digit code which would read: 00000 2 digit day, 2 digit month, 1 digit year.

    Not to sound like an anal jackass here, but what is exact words and letters and bottles now? What color is ink?

    Ninety9 Bottles in Norwalk has Sculpin and Big Eye. I didn't check the price as I was there to buy Hoptimum at the time.
