Tasting at Salesforce, bottle
Not sure about this one, but it's 8.4% ABV and bb 112921, B966; could this be from 2016?
Some chocolate, some cacao, light raisins, moderately sweet, medium body for the style, with some alcohol feeling. Pretty good.

fiery1 (4103) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - AUG 13, 2021
UPDATED: AUG 13, 2021 330ml bottle @ the office. Vintage 2017, suspected, but unsure. Pours an opaque dark brown colour with a small tan head. Nose is wood, wood glue, apples, and hints of cocoa. Flavour is chocolate cake, light cherries, and mild bourbon. Medium bodied, mild carbonation, and a moderate sweetness.

beerplace (6389) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - AUG 13, 2021
UPDATED: AUG 13, 2021 330ml @ Sales Force office. Appearance: almost black with a beige head. Aroma: some apples and ashes, roasted ashes. Taste: along the same lines, quite thin, ashy and roasty with some residual sweetness. Overall: nothing really interesting.

Nische (3994) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JUL 13, 2021
UPDATED: JUL 13, 2021 Bottle from Etre, probably kept a wee bit too long. Dark brown with mid-sized beige head. Chocolate, coconut, toffee and a bit spicy. Some oak too. Still decent.

FatPhil (22608) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - NOV 24, 2020
UPDATED: NOV 24, 2020 Tap (TCBW2019, Tallinn) (6:4:5:2:11=2.8) Black. Sweet roasty aroma. Watery palate. Some thin roast in the taste, kinda boring and dull. Not showing off any positive features of barrel ageing at all well. Compares poorly to the Kabliku pisswater I just had (which is a BA impy, don't be fooled by the name).

Alpha10 (1528) - Ontario, CANADA - MAR 14, 2020
UPDATED: MAR 14, 2020 2020/03/14 - Pours dark cola brown with a foamy, medium tan head that quickly dissipates and leaves minimal lacing. Aroma is chocolate, fudge, spices, toffee, coconut, wood and bourbon. Taste is toasted malts, toffee, coconut, fudge, rich chocolate, wood, vanilla and bourbon. Mouthfeel is medium and slightly oily with smooth carbonation and a long, toasted, warming finish. Well rounded and flavorful without being overbearing. I’m sure that this could have easily been turned into a 12% sipper, but I am really enjoying the lower ABV on this. Very nice.

melush (11220) - SPAIN - DEC 7, 2019
UPDATED: DEC 7, 2019 33cl Bottle @ Beyond Beer, Eimsbuttel, Germany. Black colour with a thin tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, cocoa, sweet, oak, bourbon. Taste is roasted malt, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, oak, bourbon. Medium body, average carbonation.

Kiezmar (2545) - Krakow, POLAND - OCT 1, 2019
UPDATED: OCT 1, 2019 Kawa zbożowa z mlekiem, bardzo ładna bourbonowa beczka, dużo wanilii, mokrego drewna. Gładkie, aczkolwiek dość lekkie.

3.6
VastActiv (12835) - Oulu/Helsinki, FINLAND - AUG 28, 2019
UPDATED: AUG 28, 2019 Sample at TCBW2019, Tallinn. Aromas and flavours: Dark chocolate, some bourbon and roasted malts.

3.8
DSG (22780) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - AUG 25, 2019
UPDATED: AUG 25, 2019 Bottle shared at a tasting at Lior D's place. Black, brown foam. Coconut, vanilla, a bit of apple (acetaldehyde), dark chocolate, sweet, full-bodied. A bit too much acetaldehyde in the nose, but still really good.
