Kbs labels

When did Founders stop putting "A Stout Ale" on its labels?

I've got a 4 pack in the cellar I just stumbled across that I believe is rom 2009, but no dates on the bottles.

Any help?

It's old and past it's prime. Put the 4 pack to rest and do everyone a favor.

Well, I appreciate the input but I've been drinking these and kind of enjoy them.

Do you know the answer to my question? And I'm not quite sure how it would be doing "everybody" a favor.

2013 is when A Stout Ale was changed to Flavored Stout
2009 is when it changed from Kentucky Breakfast Stout to KBS

Here is a label shot of '08-'11 and '14 so it jives with what gregkoko is saying.

There is also a very small change in the caps from 2009 to 2010 and then the graphic was changed again sometime after 2011.
Top of pic is '09, bottom is '10.

Your pic of the caps seals the deal for me, my bottles must be 2010. Have kbs on the label, but in comparing the older bottle cap with the bottles I have from 2014, I noticed that difference in the cap lettering as well. My older bottles match your bottom pic.

Look at the base of the glass there should be an upraised number representing the year in the glass. I think it was 2013 when they started adding multiple years on the glass. To be clear it is part of the bottle shape like how some bottles have brewery names as part of the bottle.

Eta by base I do not mean the bottom of the bottle, but hold it upright and rotate it while checking the bottom half inch.
