Probably. Your nose will help. I probably wouldn't (and I eat cream that is two months out of date).
If you'd found it a few days ago you could have made it a birthday cake

I read the title and thought this thread would be about yourself! There will be no diastatic power in chocolate malt anyway. And the sugars should be stable even after a decade. The roasted flavours may have faded over the years a bit.
I would give it the old sniff test. If it smells stale, then chuck it as it'll make the beer taste stale. Otherwise, chew on a few kernels and if it tastes like fresh malt, brew on!
Same here, and that set me thinking. As long as I can lift the malt pipe from the Braumeister and can mand handle a full fermenter and keg I will keep going.
And when I can't I can just make smaller batches.
See, that's what I was expecting from this thread, not mashbag asking about best before dates
