It can be deduced that the date on the reverse label is designed to be read as a bottling date as well.  The first batch, labeled as ''1er soutirage'' or "first racking" has a best by date on 10/12/2020 and a neck label of 2010-2011.  This would mean that it was bottled on December 10, 2010. Oude Geuze Tilquin à L'Ancienne is released yearly in several batches/bottlings.  The ''1er soutirage'' bottling was initially given to friends of Tilquin and was later available to purchase online for a short period of time.
