    I had a buddy acquire a bottle of Elysian Dragonstooth from a family friend. The label looks like this

    Does anyone have any idea what year this might be? We can't find a bottle date anywhere!

    I haven't seen that label for quite some time. Does it have some braille like number codes around the bottom of the glass bottle? If it is an Owens-Illinois bottle (marked 0-|) it may have a year code on the bottle, which will give an estimate within a year or so.

    We know it's after 2004 and before 2008 after some crazy interwebs digging.

    The real question is how does it taste?

    It was actually not that bad. Cellared in all the wrong ways but still more enjoyable than other oatmeal stouts I've had lol
