	Though there is no complete bottle log for this gueuze, Girardin Black, as it is colloquially referred to, dates back to at least the ~~1990's~~. The bottles are not specifically dated; however, beginning in the mid ~~2000's~~ the corks began to be stamped with bottling months and batch numbers. For example, Girardin Black bottled in January 2012 has a cork stamped with two numbers: (1) ''A x 2013'' -- indicating the batch letter and a "best-by" date set for one year from bottling; and (2) ''01'' -- indicating the bottling month. It is worth noting that the batch letter will not always correspond with the same month each year. For example, ''G x 2015'' bottles were bottled in December 2014, ''G x 2014'' bottles were bottled in July 2013, and ''G x 2013'' bottles were bottled in September 2012.
