How do I find out what version my Skyrim is patched to?

Today's Skyrim patch has some unfortunate side effects. I've turned off updates for the game in Steam for the time being, but I can't find anywhere that indicates whether it's already been updated or not.
Steam and silent patching aside, it's useful to know what version of the game you're running, especially once mods start depending on specific versions. How can I find out?

Start/load a game, press ESC to bring up the system menu, and it's there near the bottom left hand corner.
There's no direct way in Steam. However it's possible by checking the Skyrim executable's metadata. Go to you steam installation folder, then browse to \steamapps\common\skyrim .
Right click the TESV.exe file and select properties. The version number should be displayed in the details tab.
