Howdy - does anyone happen to have pictures of legit BBT 2017 and 2019 bottles of the original label and wax job? Many thanks!
Basically the exact same as every other vintage. The only change being the year on the front of the label and I believe the 2020 vintage was when they started including the foil "tamper" sticker. If you have a bottle you believe to be suspect, post some pictures here and I'm sure there are enough people experienced with it they could tell you if it is a fake or not.
Here’s a ‘19 I drank in the summer of ‘20. Good view of the label. I don’t have a pic of it without the uncut waxed top.
Curious why you're asking? You suspecting a fake or something? Sorry if I seem pushy, things have been slow on BA recently and this might be the spiciest thing in a while.
hahahaha guilty as charged. If only I had the time...and the contempt for my fellow man...that's a big deficiency for me.
you are right that I want to authenticate some bottles I have before I share and embarrass myself with something that might not be legit. I will try and gather pics to share
The best way to know is to remove the wax and look at the cap, if you see and indent on the top it was made by a home brew capper and is fake :/ also the wax looks weird, like it’s a different wax. The label would look good tho as the faker reused real empties apparently
You can see my fake 2018 here: https://imgur.com/gallery/0zyy4Z4 I still have the bottle.... https://imgur.com/gallery/0zyy4Z4
Wait, as in you have an unopened bottle of the OG R(aji)BBT??? That is actually a ghost whale at this point, I think I've seen people offer some pretty good stuff on Facebook for it lol.
Here are a series of pictures of my Raji BBT2018: https://imgur.com/gallery/4Ao3kjZ https://imgur.com/gallery/iwmqIYK The wax and cap are the tell for these fakes. My cap didn't have the homebrew indent. The 2018's were Raji's first attempts. He perfected the fake with his 2019 series.
