Feeding and counting birds
A heavy mast crop last fall was one sign that led those who use old-time folk lore to predict conditions to warn that the winter of 2013-'14 would be bad. It was a good call. March blasts of arctic air make seeking out the remaining seeds, berries and nuts a matter of survival for wild birds and animals. Insect-eating creatures find food scarcer due to cold, as well.
Bad weather hurts the bottom line, but warmer weather is on the way
As a resort community, much of the revenue generated in Fairfield Glade relies on visitors. So far this year, cold weather has put quite a damper on outdoor activity. Due to the freezing temperatures and snow, January golf rounds recorded 943 18-hole equivalents – about 325 rounds under budget and 528 less than last year.
The Neighborhood Watch Coalition and you
I know you've heard the term "neighborhood watch," but have you given any thought as to what members of a watch coalition do? The first thing that probably comes to mind is that it's a group of very nosey people wanting to find out who you are, what you have, how much you're worth and all the other curiosities associated with people who can't mind their own business. That answer is simply wrong.

Results are in from this weekend, and there were three kickboxing events of interest.
Top 10 Middlewweight Nieky Holzken (ranked #6) was in action this weekend, headlining a Golden Glory event in Eindhoven and challenging Thilo Schneider for the WFCA World Title. The intense Holzken brought the fight to Schneider early, using a wide range of techniques to overwhelm his opponent and score the 2nd round TKO win. A bit of an ugly moment in the 2nd round here after Holzken dropped Schneider with a punch. As Schneider was down on one knee in the corner, the referee was slow to step in and Holzken blasted his clearly downed opponent with a brutal punch that rocked the completely exposed Schneider. Poor reffing there for sure, but also not the most sportsmanlike move from Holzken. After the fight Faldir Chahbari entered the ring and challenged Holzken. Those two put on one of the best fights in 2009 with Holzken pulling off a close decision win, and I would have no problem seeing them square off again.
In Australia, the big event was Knees of Fury 32, headlined by Paul Slowinski vs. Thor Hoopman. Slowinski (pictured) was able to get his revenge on Hoopman for a 2009 loss, as the long-time K-1 veteran scored a 1st round KO victory over his younger opponent. The difference in the fight seemed to be Slowinski's power, which proved too much for the smaller Hoopman. At one point, Slowinski was able to simply pick Hoopman up and slam him to the mat in a throw that was low on technique, but high on strength. As the round progressed, Slowinski increased his pressure, landing multiple punch combos that dropped Hoopman before the referee stepped in and stopped the fight. Great win for Slowinski, who was talking about retiring two years ago, but is now 8-2 in the last year and getting ready for a May showdown with Daniel Ghita in what will be Slowinski's biggest international fight since the 2008 K-1 GP Finals. Hoopman remains a young talent to watch, but this is a definite setback for him, and he will need to figure out how to deal with bigger, stronger opponents if he hopes to remain at Heavyweight. Elsewhere on the card Wes Capper stopped Kym Johnson in 1 round, Flip Street defeated Myles Simpson by TKO after round 2, Sarah O'Connell decisioned Tenille May, Charlie Chau KO'd Hiki Hanui in the 1st via leg kicks, and Cameron Murcott stopped Steve Behan, again in the 1st.
Finally, over in Japan was R.I.S.E. 74 with a pair of title fights as the main attraction. In the main event, Kosuke Komiyama took a 5 round split decision win over Kan Itabashi to become the new R.I.S.E. 60 kg champion, while Koji Yoshimoto and Yusuke Sugawara battled to a Draw in a 63kg title fight. Yoshimoto remains the champion after the draw decision. The other notable fight was Dyki vs. Hiroki Maeda, where Dyki scored the decision win. The event also included a retirement ceremony for K-1 MAX veteran Tatsuji.

Hull and Barnsley Railway
The later H&BR armorial device[note 1]
Fate | Merged as part of the Grouping Act |
Successor(s) | NER, LNER |
Founded | 1880 |
Founder(s) | Col. Gerald Smith and others |
Headquarters | Kingston upon Hull, England |
Key people | Matthew Stirling – Chief mechanical engineer Edward Watkin[note 2] – General manager (1905–23) |
The Hull Barnsley & West Riding Junction Railway and Dock Company (HB&WRJR&DCo.) was opened on 20 July 1885. It had a total projected length of 66 miles but never reached Barnsley, stopping a few miles short at Stairfoot. The name was changed to The Hull and Barnsley Railway (H&BR) in 1905. Its Alexandra Dock in Hull opened 16 July 1885.
The main line ran from Hull to Cudworth, with two other lines branching off at Wrangbrook Junction, the South Yorkshire Junction Railway to Denaby, and The Hull & South Yorkshire Extension Railway, an eight-mile branch to Wath-upon-Dearne, opened 31 March 1902. The company also had joint running powers on the Hull and Barnsley and Great Central Joint Railway (Gowdall and Braithwell Railway).
Before the Grouping of 1923, the line was taken over by the North Eastern Railway. Following incorporation into the LNER, duplicated infrastructure was closed or reduced in function – notably Cannon Street station and the Springhead Locomotive Works.
Closure of the greater part of the main line itself came during the time of British Railways. As of 2011 the elevated line in Hull with some of the extensions and alterations added by the NER and LNER are still in use and referred to as the Hull Docks Branch and has the Engineers' Line Reference of HJS.[note 3]
By the 19th century the coalfields of southern Yorkshire were producing large amounts of coal, the industrialised midland region was making manufactured goods, and the new industrial towns of the West Riding of Yorkshire and of Lancashire were producing cloth and other goods. Thus opportunities for trade, export and profit existed along the east coast of England as well as along the Humber and the tributary rivers feeding it.
Goole had risen from nothing as a port on the Ouse with the creation of the Knottingley to Goole Canal in 1826 by the Aire and Calder Canal Company; the port, built to generous specifications rapidly gained inward and outward trade – much to the chagrin of Hull, and spurred the development of the extension of the Leeds to Selby Railway to Hull which opened in 1840.[3] Additionally the North Eastern Railway – which had a monopoly on rail transport to Hull prevented other rail companies investing there, and so Goole gained its own railway by the Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole Railway (later part of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway) in 1848. A custom built railway dock, as well the use of specialised coal barges and unloading facilities, as well as the backing of the Aire and Calder Canal company made it a very viable competitor to Hull for trade.[4]
Additionally as a competitor to the port of Hull (and equally well placed for European trade), Grimsby began to grow after the 1840s when the Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester Railway Company built a rail connection, and the Royal Dock was completed in 1852.[5]
Hull had expanded rapidly during the 18th century with shipping tonnages increasing over ten times in that period, and numerous docks supplementing and connecting Old Dock (Queen's Dock) being built by the Dock company in the 19th : Humber Dock (Prince's Dock) 1809, Junction Dock 1829, by 1846 Railway Dock connected to the Hull & Selby Railway (later part of the NER), as well as Victoria Dock (1850), Albert Dock (1869) and St. Andrews Dock (1883).[6] Despite all this activity the Dock company was criticised for lack of action – specifically with regard to construction of facilities that would make Hull a foremost coal exporting port.[6] Additionally the NER whose interests in the north-east of England were in competition with Hull, and which held a monopoly on rail transport to Hull was viewed with mistrust, suspicion, dissatisfaction and even hate[7][8] schemes for independent railways or a company other than the NER were proposed[9] to build a line to Hull, including bridge over, and tunnels under the Humber were being actively promoted by Hull merchants.[7]
The situation became untenable when in 1872 with the NER refusing or unable to transport shipments from the port, deliveries of fish delayed, and a general traffic jam on the rails:[note 4]
"..the traffic overwhelmed the powers of the Railway Company ; orders for supplies of goods could not be executed, vessels could not receive or discharge cargoes, and the general trade of the port was almost paralysed."
—prospectus for the Hull South and West Junction Railway., A History of Hull Railways, G.G. MacTurk, Chapter XV (F.B Grotrian)
The plans finally found fruition in 1880 in the charge of Col. Gerald Smith (a Hull banker) and through the cooperation of the Hull Corporation (including sale of land to the railway, and an investment of £100,000)[10] As part of the Hull Corporation's involvement with the scheme came the power to veto any joint workings with other railway companies or selling or leasing of land,[11] and despite the opposition of the NER (which had been instrumental in blocking previous plans.[7]); the Bill of Parliament being passed with minor alterations on 26 August 1880. The company The Hull, Barnsley and West Riding Junction Railway and Dock Company (formed 1879) began work on the new line and associated deep water dock which was completed by 1885.[10]
The HB&WRJ Railway and Dock company[edit]
In full, the Hull, Barnsley and West Riding Junction Railway and Dock company.
Construction (1880–1885)[edit]
For construction of the line Parliament authorised a share issue of £3,000,0000 and loans of £1,000,000[12] The engineer for the main line was William Shelford, whilst Stephen Best was responsible for the Hull section, Benjamin Baker designed the Alexandra Dock.[13] The contractors were Messrs. Lucas and Aird (see John Aird & Co. and Lucas Brothers).
The line was one of the earlier built with the aid of steam navvies.[13] The spoil excavated by men and machines from tunnels and cuttings was used to build embankments elsewhere[14] Around 8,000 navvies, including both Scots and Irish as well as English, were employed in the constructions; the largest concentration of which was to be found at Riplingham (near to the Drewton tunnel). The average wage was 15 shillings for a 58 hour week.[15]
The Weedley Tunnel was not originally planned; the track was to skirt the hill to the south. However unstable ground meant that the line tunnelled through the hill instead.[16] The South Kirby tunnel passed through magnesian limestone to reach the lower beds of sandstone, and clay.[17] Excavation of tunnels and cuttings included the practice of tunnelling into the rock, placing charges then moving up the contractors wagons and detonating the charges so that the blasted rock would fall into the wagons.[18]
One of the notable features of the line was the number of bridges it required, this was due to the elevated nature of the Hull section where it crossed both roads, waterways, and the NER. Additionally, being built after the Railway Mania of the 1840s it had to cross numerous already existent lines in southern Yorkshire. Over one hundred bridges were required[19] with over 20 within the urban area of Hull.[note 5]
The majority (eighty eight) of the bridges were of plate girder construction with usually three plate sides (one central) supporting cross beams on which the track was supported. For longer spans a girder "N" truss design was used[19][note 6] These larger bridges incorporate rollers on one end to allow for the thermal expansion of the bridge.[19] For other long spans, and for the two swing bridges on the line (Ouse and Hull bridges) open girder truss of approximately parabolic shape (open truss bowstring) were used. Both swing bridges were manufactured by Messrs. Handyside of Derby.[19]
In addition to wrought iron bridges brick arches were also used, both for crossing small dykes and country lanes, as well as the abutments to bridges and in place of embankments on short sections between bridges.
At Beverley Road, Willerby & Kirk Ella, North Cave and Wallingfen were two story buildings with the upper story accessing the embanked track.[20] Stations were built in the English Queen Anne revival style – with decorative external brick courses between floors and brick lintels, minor embellishments on other brick structures such as bridge buttresses roughly echoed the same style.
In July 1884 work stopped for 5 months,[15] due to failure to raise funds through a share issue to pay the workers. Parliament allowed the additional debts to be taken for the work to continue, by completion the total share issue was £6,000,000 and the loans £3,500,000.[12] At this point the line was almost complete but the subsequent cost cutting meant that the planned grand terminus close to the centre of Hull was never built.
Description of the Line and assets[edit]
Hull to Springhead[edit]
Much of the assets of the Hull Barnsley and West Riding Junction Railway and Dock Company (HB&WRJR&DCo) lay in Hull.[note 7] The line terminated in Hull at three main points: Alexandra Dock; for import and export of goods by sea, Cannon Street station; a goods station and also the passenger terminus, and Neptune Street goods station; the main goods terminus.
The HB&WRJR&DCo's main asset was Alexandra Dock. At the time of its construction it was the largest in Britain at 46.5 acres (188,000 m2) and was expanded by 7 acres (28,000 m2) in 1889. The entrance lock was 550 ft (170 m) long at 85 ft (26 m) wide. Two graving docks, one 500 ft (150 m) long and 60 ft (18 m) wide, the other a little bigger were also built at the north-east corner of the dock. Its primary purpose was the export of coal,[21] in the opposite direction pit props, as well as cut wood were transported.[22] Distances on the line (mileposts) were measured from Alexandra Dock, and the up direction was from Hull to Barnsley.[23] From here the track rose, joining the embankment and crossed Hedon Road[note 8] beginning its curved route round Hull by numerous bridges crossing roads, drains, and the North Eastern Railways own track; the first major crossing after Hedon Road being the NER's Hull to Witherensea line. Next was a minor goods yard was situated at Burleigh street, then the Foredyke Stream (a drainage canal) and the NER's Hull to Hornsea line were crossed close together. The line then crossed the river Hull at the Hull Bridge, and then branches (from the down direction) serving Sculcoates goods yard (southward) and the British Gas Light Company's gas works (northward). Westward from Sculcoates goods yard a spur ran backwards to serve Hull Corporation's own Electricity power plant (opened 1895.[24]). After Sculcoates junction and the Beverley and Barmston drain came Beverley Road junction where the line from Cannon Street station coming from the south-east joined the westward travelling main line.[23]
The branch to Cannon Street station first passed Beverley Road station, almost immediately after the junction. Beverley Road station was a two-story building with the upper story accessing the embanked track.[note 9][20] the line then curved south and after a 1 in 50 descent reached the level again and terminated at Cannon Street. Initially Cannon Street was intended to be a carriage shed with the main station building situated closer to the centre of town at Charlotte street near Kingston Square where the company's offices where located.[img 1] Lack of funds, and the expense of purchasing expensive real estate in the centre of the town meant that Cannon Street became the main terminus.[14][25][26] The station was in one of the most densely populated areas of the town, close to the river and its associated seed oil and varnish works, the buildings quickly constructed of wood, and surrounded by the company's own coal yards, all of which would have given a poor impression compared to the facilities offered by the NER.[14][25][27]
From Beverley Road junction the main line continued west crossing Newland Avenue, and the NER's Hull to Cottingham line before reaching a triangle of track (or Wye) where a line turned south to terminate at Neptune Street goods station.
Before reaching Neptune Street a smaller goods station at Dairycoates branched to the east of the north–south track.[28] Before reaching Neptune street the line curved east and crossed the NER's main line to Paragon Station at Hessle road junction by an open girder truss bowstring bridge.[29]
From the wye of track at Springbank junctions on the route towards Barnsley the line continued west past the Springhead works. The works were built on greenfield land north of the main line outside the urbanisation of Hull, and expanded considerably post opening.[30] At Springhead south of the main line there was a through goods loop which also gave access to considerable sidings operated from 1908 onwards.[31][32] From the Springhead yard Hull Corporation's Springhead Waterworks was supplied with coal to power its steam-driven pumping engine.[33]
Springhead to Aire junction[edit]
Beyond Springhead the line continued on embanked track towards Willerby and Kirk Ella station, then crossing the small shallow valley at Eppleworth in the foothills of the Yorkshire Wolds by a brick viaduct[img 2] (locally known as "five arches"). From here the line rose to Little Weighton station via a 83 ft (25 m) deep cutting. Then the line reached a high point of 262 ft (80 m) after inclines of up to 1 in 100 before entering the 2,116-yard (1,935 m) Drewton Tunnel after which the descent grade is 1 in 150 for seven miles, passing though Sugar Loaf Tunnel and Weedley Tunnel further west, both shorter tunnels of 132 yards (121 m) and then South Cave station and North Cave station.[26]
Beyond North Cave the land is flat, and the line turned steadily south-west aiming for Barnsley, passing through Newport, then Sandholme, then Eastrington station before passing over the NER's Hull to Selby Line followed by Howden and Barmby stations. The next major obstacle of the River Ouse was crossed by a swing bridge at Long Drax. The minor station of Drax preceded a crossing under the NER's Selby to Goole Line after which was Carlton station and then the first of the junctions with other Railways through which the Hull and Barnsley obtained much of its traffic.[26]
South of Aire junction[edit]
Almost immediately after a bridge crossing over the river Aire, a branch heading north-south joined the line at Aire junction; this was jointly operated by the H&BR and Great Central Railway which opened in 1916 and was known as the Hull and Barnsley and Great Central Joint Line.[34]
Less than a mile south-west of Aire junction a westward junction (Gowdall junction) connected the H&BR to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L&YR) at Hensall junction via a short chord. The main line continued south-west and crossed over the same L&Y line (the Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole Railway then owned by the L&YR). About a mile further on the line crossed over the NER main line to Selby (the former East Coast Main Line via Shaftholme and Selby. The line then crossed the Knottingley and Goole Canal, then went over another L&YR line (connecting Knottingley to Shaftholme junction) before arriving in Kirk Smeaton station.[26]
After Kirk Smeaton the terrain becomes hilly again, but with Magnesian Limestone (see Dolostone) replacing the softer chalk found in the Wolds; after a cutting the line entered the 1,226-yard (1,121 m) South Kirby Tunnel (commonly known as the Barnsdale Tunnel) before reaching Wrangbrook Junction. Here the South Yorkshire Junction Railway (opened 1894.[35]) branched south and then south-east ultimately for Denaby, whilst The Hull & South Yorkshire Extension Railway (opened 1902.[35]) branched soon after travelling roughly south towards Wath, whilst the line heading for Barnsley continued roughly west-south-west.[26][36]
After Upton the line crossed over the Swinton and Knottingley joint line (Midland and North Eastern railways), shortly after a branch west from Hemsworth East junction connected the line to the West Riding and Grimsby joint line which was operated by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire (after 1897 the Great Central) and Great Northern railways; which was then passed over by the continuation of the H&BR main line. The next station was Hemsworth.[26]
The final tunnel on the line was Brierly tunnel which is 685 yards (626 m) long. The line then passed westward through Brierly junction where a southward-turning chord connected with the Dearne Valley line on which the H&BR had running powers. A northward continuation of the Dearne Valley line was then passed under.[26]
Finally Cudworth was reached: first was Cudworth Goods station; then Cudworth North junction, where the line split into two main branches; a third branch west joined the Midland Railway via goods exchange sidings.[37] The westernmost of the two main branches crossed the Midland Line by girder truss bridge, then a spur to Monk Bretton station left west, whilst the final part of the line continued to Stairfoot junction where it joined the Great Central main line. The easterly branch ran to Cudworth station where there was a platform, but no connection.[26]
The line's second locomotive depot was found at Cudworth, as well as marshalling yards.[37] The whole main line as built was double tracked.[38]
Operation and events (1885–1922)[edit]
The HB&WRJR&DCo. began business with large amounts of debt, and within a year of its opening a price war had begun between the Hull Dock Company and the Hull and Barnsley on dock charges, and between the Hull and Barnsley and the NER on transit charges. Neither of the two Hull-based companies could expect to win against the much larger North Eastern Railway. By 1887 the HB&WRJR&DCo. was seeking a way out of debt and approached the Midland Railway for a possible merger. Reasonable terms were made, but the proposal was rejected by the shareholders of the Hull company.[35] An amalgamation by the NER itself was then proposed, which would have included the NER paying off the HB&WRJR&DCo.'s debts; this scheme too was rejected.[35]
The Hull and Barnsley, unable to pay its debts, went into receivership for two years until 1889.[12] The Hull Dock Company amalgamated with the NER in the early 1893,[35] – requiring another act of parliament – one condition of which was that in the event of the NER building another dock in Hull (which had already been planned in 1891 as part of an unsuccessful merger attempt between the H,B&WRJ and the NER.[39]) the Hull and Barnsley should give its consent, and be able to make the new dock a joint operation between the two railway companies.[8][40] Additionally an agreement was reached that there would be no reduction in dock duties without prior agreement or discussion.[35]
In 1894 the South Yorkshire Junction Railway opened. Though independent, it was worked by Hull and Barnsley engines, and connected the company to more collieries.[35]
In the following years of the 1890s various proposals, including another to merge the NER and HB&WRJR&DCo., and others for expansion of the Hull docks came, but were blocked by one party's interests or another's.[35] Finally in 1899 both railway companies had agreed to the construction of a new dock, to the east of Alexandra Dock,[8] access to which was from the HB&WRJ's elevated line via an extension from Alexandra Dock, and from a joint line branching off the H&BR at Bridges Junction.[41]
In 1902 an extension from Wrangbrook junction opened, connecting to Wath and further collieries.[35] From 1905 cooperation with the Midland allowed trains to run all the way to Sheffield via Cudworth; the same year Edward Watkin nephew of Sir Edward Watkin became general manager of the company.[1][42] For these express trains bogie coaches were purchased and M. Stirling's 4-4-0 tender locomotives used. From 1907 at Sandholme there were marshalling yards and a turntable, enabling freight trains to be split in two for the steep section towards Hull into the Wolds hills.[42]
After exiting receivership, the fortunes of the Hull and Barnsley recovered and it began to pay reasonable dividends on ordinary stock. In 1905 the Hull Barnsley and West Riding Junction Railway and Dock Company officially changed its named to the shorter Hull and Barnsley Railway. The same year running powers were obtained and a junction made with the Dearne Valley Railway.[35] Also in that year the National Radiator company opened in Hull.[43] The site was served by a siding from Ella street on the H&BR line, as well as being accessed by a siding from the NER on the Hull to Bridlington line, forming a non-official line link between the networks of H&BR and NER.[44]
Construction of the new dock – "King George V Dock" – was completed by 1914.[8]
In 1916 the Hull and Barnsley and Great Central Joint Railway opened, adding to the number of collieries from which the company could transport coal.[35]
Rolling stock and vessels[edit]
The H&BR never manufactured any of its own locomotives, all being built elsewhere. The first types in use were of the design W. Kirtley (Locomotive Superintendent of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway) who was acting as a consultant. Matthew Stirling (son of Patrick Stirling of 'Stirling Single' fame) was the first and only Locomotive superintendent of the H&BR during its independence, and who undertook the rebuilding of some of Mr. Kirtley's designs, as well as contracting the construction of his own designs to various builders. His locomotives were typically domeless, and many of the original Kirtley engines were also rebuilt without domes.[45]
Kirtley's locomotives were painted black with grey lining.[46] Matthew Stirling subtly modified the livery – using invisible green (black except in bright sunlight) produced from a 50:50 mixture of 'drop black' and 'brunswick green'. Lining was of broad stripes of blue (ultramarine) with red (vermilion) edges.[47] The 2-4-0 and 0-6-0 tender locomotives procured by Kitley carried a small cursive monogram of the letters "HB&WRJR",[48] other locomotives carried the initials "H&BR".[46]

Numbering of H&BR locomotives was sequential, once a locomotive was rebuilt it was added to the supplementary list and the suffix "A" added, the original number being reused for new locomotives. (Sources:[45][50]) |
A total of 186 engines were operated by the Hull and Barnsley Railway, on merging into the NER the locomotives were briefly renumbered by adding 3000 to the original number. Following the incorporation into the LNER soon after the surviving locomotives were assigned numbers between 2405 and 2542,[51] in no specific order. Most except the H&BR Class F3 (LNER Class N13) were withdrawn between 1930 and 1940,[45] the B Class beginning withdrawal earlier in 1925. The last F3 was withdrawn in 1956.[51]
Rolling stock[edit]
Initially the railway used 30 ft (9.1 m) 2-axle coaches, by the time services to Sheffield were introduced the company had 4-axle 51 ft (16 m) composite corridor coaches on bogies. Most of the rolling stock was for freight; in 1923 the company had 4,808 freight wagons of which over 3,000 were open wagons. Additionally the company possessed a snow plough, since the cuttings in the Yorkshire Wolds were prone to drifts when snow occurred.[52]
Ships and watercraft[edit]
The company operated a number of vessels in relation to the construction, operation and maintenance of the Alexandra Dock; those vessels included:[53]
- Alexandra – tug built by Earle's shipbuilding of Hull in 1885.
- Barnsley – tug – a sister of "Alexandra" built in 1886 but not by the same builder.
- Hull – tug built by J.P. Rennoldson of South Shields in 1898.
- "H.& B.R. No. 1", "H.& B.R. No. 2" and "H.& B.R. No. 3" – static dumb dredgers.
- "H.& B.R. No. 4" – built by Jonkeers of Kinderdijk in 1914 ; grab dredger engined by Earle's of Hull. Transferred to N.E.R in 1922 and renamed "N.E.R Grab No. 4" and to the L.N.E.R. in 1923. Renamed "H. & B.R. Dredger No. 4" in 1938 and ownership changed again in 1948 to the Docks and Inland Waterways Executive and then to B.T. Docks Board. Eventually sold to Italian interests and broken up in 1963.
History 1922–present[edit]
As part of the NER (1922–1923)[edit]
The Railways Act 1921 ended the company's independence; from 1 April 1922 the Hull & Barnsley Railway became part of the NER.[54] The locomotive works at Springhead was downgraded – the extent of locomotive maintenance was reduced and the carriage works closed being, skilled workers and machinery were relocated to Darlington.[55][note 10] 43 old engines were decommissioned at this time.[30] Edward Watkin (General Manager) and Matthew Stirling also departed.[54] Due to duplication a number of stations were renamed.[note 11]
Incorporation into the NER was just part of a larger scale of consolidation throughout the British railway system, and on 1 January 1923 the NER along with the Hull and Barnsley line became part of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER).[54]
As part of the LNER (1923–1948)[edit]
Cannon Street station in Hull ceased to be used a passenger station in 1924,[58] this coincided with the construction of a chord to the NER line just north-west of Walton street level crossing to the elevated line.[59][note 12]
Mainline freight work commonly used the ex Great Central Robinson 2-8-0 locomotives (later classified as LNER Class O4).[59] The NER Class P1 0-6-0, NER Class Y 4-6-2T, NER Class T and NER Class T2 0-8-0 locomotives inherited from the NER also replaced Hull and Barnsley types on other freight work.[60]
In 1929 a halt west of Springhead works and sidings was constructed,[note 13] The station was unstaffed, and possibly the smallest in Britain,[62] with two wooden platforms one coach in length each (25 ft).[63] The same month the Springhead Halt opened passenger services between Wath and Kirk Smeaton ended.[58]
Passenger services between South Howden and Cudworth ceased in 1932.[58]
As part of British Railways (1948–1994)[edit]
Mainline freight continued to be worked by 2-8-0 locomotives, with WD Austerity 2-8-0 being ubiquitous. 8F type 2-8-0 locomotives also became common on the southern sections of the line, after through working ended (1958).[59] (A large number of the class were purchased by the LNER from the war department after the Second World War, and in 1948 by the British Transport Commission.)
In 1951 a single sided station halt (Boothferry Park Halt railway station) was built on the branch in Hull between Springhead south junction and Neptune street to serve the Hull City Football club (directly situated next to the line), the service ended in 1986.[64][note 14]
The locomotive shed at Cudworth closed in 1951.[59]
Passenger services between Hull and South Howden ended in 1955.[65] Through freight on the same line ended in 1958, with complete closure between Little Weighton and Wrangbrook junction in 1959. Freight working on remaining sections west of Hull (Springhead) closed completely in the next decade; the section between Moorhouse and Wrangbrook: 1963, between Little Weighton and Springhead : 1964, between Wrangbrook and both Monckton as well as Sproatbrough in 1967, Cudworth to Monckton in 1968.[65]
In Hull the bridge over the NER main line at Hessle road was removed in 1962 and the elevated H&BR dock branch section became connected to the Hull to Selby line at Hessle road junction as part of a scheme to reduce the number of level crossings in Hull by routing all rail traffic to east Hull via the elevated Hull and Barnsley Line.[59]
All traffic from Cudworth to Wranbrook junction ended in 1967.[60] The branch to Cannon street closed completely in 1968.[59] By 1970 the only parts of the line still with traffic were the Hull elevated section, and a few short sections with industrial uses.[60] Alexandra Dock closed in the 1980s and the rail connection was removed,[66] subsequently the dock re-opened but without a rail connection.[60]
Part of the elevated line to King George Dock was converted to a single line in 1988 and one train working introduced, four years later increased amounts of imports; specifically coal; meant that staffed (tokenised) working was reintroduced in 1992.[67]
Part of the path of the line between Hensall and Drax was opened for Merry Go Round trains to Drax Power Station in 1972,[68] the Long Drax swing bridge on the Ouse to the north-east offered a link for future developments and was maintained until 1968, but was dismantled in 1976.[69]
Post privatisation (1994–)[edit]
Hull Docks Branch enhancements[edit]
In 2007 over £10 million was allocated to a project to increase capacity on the former Hull and Barnsley Railway branch to the Hull docks. Network Rail, Associated British Ports, Yorkshire Forward, Hull City Council and The Northern Way were involved in funding or supporting the scheme.[note 15] The work was to include partial re-doubling of the line, remedial and replacement work on the numerous bridges, and signalling upgrades, and to increase the line speed to 30 mph (48 km/h) except at Hull Bridge. The capacity of the line was to be increased from 10 to 22 trains in each direction.[71][72][73][74]
In late 2007 the Network Rail gave the contract to GrantRail[75] (now VolkerRail). Work carried out included the re-instatement of a double track junction at Hessle Road (the junction with the main line, previously singled in 1984), restoration of double track from New Bridge Road to King George Dock, and removal of Ella Street bridge along with strengthening of 15 others. The upgraded line was formally opened in June 2008 by the transport minister Rosie Winterton.[76][77][78] Work continued on the line after the official opening; the upgraded signalling system began use in September 2008.[79]
Work on the ABP owned portion of the track was carried out by Trackwork Ltd. of Doncaster,[citation needed] at a cost of over £2.5 million.[77]
In 2013 two bridges were replaced on the docks branch: a minor bridge (James Reckitt Avenue) replaced at a cost of about £1 million, and a major bridge replacement costing £3.2 million to replace a bridge over the Spring Bank West road.[80][81][82]
The line in the 21st century | ||||||||||
Use of closed parts of the line[edit]
Drapers Metal merchants used the Sculcoates, and later part of the former Neptune Street goods yards as part of their scrap metal business – during the 1960s many steam locomotives were dismantled there.[83][note 16]
The cutting at Little Weighton, and nearby chalk quarries were used after closure (from 1969) as a landfill facility; filling of the quarries and cutting was approaching completion by 2008. After 2008 a site on the cutting near Willerby has been used as a recycling facility.[85][86][87]
In rural areas the embankments and earthworks remain as boundaries between fields, the trackbed west of Weedley tunnel forms part of the Yorkshire Wolds Way and High Hunsley Circuit walks, and a section of the embankment between Kirk Ella and Hull also carries a footpath whilst a section further west is covered by the B1232 road. A section over 2 miles long north of Newport is now part of the eastern end of M62 motorway. A number of the stations have been converted into private residences.[88][89]
The areas of disused land west and east of Calvert Lane in Hull (formerly Springhead works and sidings and the land between Springbank East, West and South junctions) have become a wildlife habitat,[90] the area between the junctions being assessed as "ecologically outstanding". and are classed as Sites of nature conservance importance and is a candidate site for "Local Nature Reserve status".[91][92][93] The disused railway bridge giving walkers access to the western site was removed in August 2009.[94] The former sidings at Calvert Lane were developed into a small housing estate "The Sidings" in the 2010s.[95][96]
The Hull & Barnsley Railway Stock Fund owns and restores the few surviving vehicles which once belonged to the H&BR. Two coaches, two wagons and a tool van are kept on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. No locomotives have survived.
It may be safety predicted that before long, and especially if business competition becomes keener, Hull will again realise that emancipation from railway thraldom is a necessity of her existence as a first-class trading port

Allan Leinwand had a provocative blog post on gigaom.com the other day about the imminent arrival of a blade server for the Nexus. Doug ably explained why we would not do such a thing, so I am not going to revisit that, but I do want to explore the question Allan posed at the end of his entry: Who do you think can provide those resources more effectively -– a blade server manufacturer using virtualization with networking added to the system or a data networking manufacturer adding blade servers and virtualization?
Data Center Virtualization R Us
'Om'nidirectional Nexus
Was just reading this article on GigaOm about the Nexus 7000 as a sort of mutated blade server chassis. I wanted to reply to it that there isn't much possibility of the Nexus 7000 as a server platform itself, although it, I believe, is one of the best Server Interconnect platforms ever delivered. Interesting conjecture, but doubt we'll see that as an evolutionary path unless there is a major reduction in power draw for both CPUs and DRAM. dg
Managing the Lego Data Center
During customer briefings, I'll often use the concept of the Lego data center when talking about the vision behind Data Center 3.0. The joy of Lego (for me at least) is the ability to build something then, (sometimes violently) break it apart and build something else. This is the operational model we look to bring to the data center—sans most of the violence--with Data Center 3.0.
One Big Happy Fabric
Was recently reading this article about FibreChannel over Ethernet, something we have written just a few times about I came across this article today on the technology and how it is coming along in the standards bodies and with a full slate of multi-vendor support coming in behind it. Read More »
Data Centers Down Under
On a plane flying to Sydney to start a week long Asia Pacific Tour. Will be meeting with customers across a few parts of Asia and rushing home to paint Easter Eggs, hide them, and then wonder oddly enough a few days later where that interesting sulphur-like smell is coming from.This week I am going to try something new for me. Yes, I know, I am years behind on technology and using the web, but am going to try to do a few video blogs of the different data centers we may see, if their are architectural differences 'Down Under', does airflow work differently in Australia? i.e. does hot air fall and cold air rise?

"Must DRIVE!!!"
Neighbor owns this car. Shelby GT500/KR Super Snake. But sold it to his boss at the ford plant. He let me drive it. From the first time you see this car it puts every Ford to shame. Then you sent in the seat and grab the leather wrapped stearing wheel and push the red push start button and the car comes to life. Instant love.

highly carbonated, great hoppy finish.

Pours coal brown/black with hints of deep crimson when held to the light under a deep brown head. Roast grain, herbs, flowers, and a faint whiff of here, kitty kitty.
Mouthfeel is almost too thick: beyond double-IPA, past porter and into the realm of imperial stout, stand-a-spoon-up thick. But just short of being too much. I get chocolate milk on the flavor. Rich, thick, velvety smooth chocolate milk with all the oh-so-bad-for-you emulsifiers. Finishes surprisingly dry, but full of herbs and astringency. Faint licorice. Herbal to earthy hops.
Enjoyable, but not one I'd really want to try to have a second. Good night-ender. Big, bold, assertive: a fitting crescendo to an evening's tasting.

Brewdog & Stone : Bashah
Pours a dark brown with a khaki colored head. In the flavor, roasted malt, chocolate, a hint of hops and a little oily. There is a slight la Choy like soy note, though it mixes fairly well with the coffee like malts, and dusty cocoa flavor. On the maltier side of the American black ale style, with a small piney hop presence. A little bit of heat is noticed too. Full bodied feel, quite smooth. Overall, a decent black ale, not a bad collaboration.

Bottle: Poured a deep clear black color ale with a medium size dark brown foamy head with average retention. Aroma of roasted malt is more powerful and dry then expected. Taste is dominated by dry roasted malt notes with light subtle coffee notes. Body is somewhat light with OK carbonation and no apparent alcohol. I can't say I was truly impressed by that one – hops profile was more subdued then expected and dry roasted malt was overly dominant.

Bashah | 355 ml. | 8.6% ABV | 2010
Brewer: BrewDog
Style: American Black Ale
Glass: pint
Dull black, like a stout, with a foamy ecru cap, and splashes of lacing.
Roasted malts, a hint of floral hops.
Hmm... how to describe this. It feels like a stout, but tastes like an IPA. The roasted malts are just shy of being chocolatey, while the ample hops are oily, and taste very much like grapefruit.
Slick and thick, but with some razzle-dazzle from the high carbonation.
Perhaps it's characteristic of the style in general—which would more appropriately be called a "Black IPA"—but I feel Bashah awkwardly combines extreme "hoppiness" with a clumsy malt profile, which lacks the depth or character of some of the better stouts. The hops are quite nice (I especially enjoy how real the grapefruit taste is), however they too lack the floral delicacy and range I've tasted in some of the better IPAs. It feels like Bashah has dumbed down the more nuanced qualities of both stouts and IPAs, instead choosing to exist in a sort of noncommittal middle ground.
Would I get it again?:

this beer is BLACK. black as coal and completely opaque. this is a black hole in a glass. big brown head. perfect lacing. there is literally a ring around my glass at every sip i took.
smells like hops and roasted malts. piney, citrusy, grassy hop notes, all over a deep undercurrent of roasted malts.
tastes like hops and roasted malts. taste up front is sweet and gives way to the bitterness of the hops, the bitterness of the roasted malts, and the warmth of the alcohol. the hop and malt flavor are huge, but balanced perfectly. that taste of coffee that has been siting in the pot for two days also comes through in the finish complimenting the sweetness of the malts and botanicals of the hops very well. flavors of roasted malts linger long after the finish.
viscous, and thick bodied. soft carbonation.
i remember reading when this style of beer first came out that it was made by steeping black patent in the the water at room temp before the was brought up to temp to mash, thereby extracting the color and none of the flavor, and a normal ipa was then made. this is definitely not what was done with this beer. this is good. do not walk away from a chance to drink this beer.

Poured from a 33cL bottle into a BrewDog cervoise glass. Batch 352. Bottled on 19 December 2010.
A: About a finger of head tops a black, opaque beer. No glimmering in the light. Good lacing.
S: Fragrant fruits and beautiful hops. YUM. Chocolate. Hints of yeast, more Old Ale than Belgian IPA.Touches of citrus. Damn!
T: Interesting. A bit of coffee flavour makes up the majority of the bitterness. Chocolatey malts fill the maintaste, and the aftertaste is mostly chalky and mundane, but with a brief splash of grapefruit. Ole Ale impressions are confirmed. Definitely not what I expected from a "Black Belgian Style Double India Pale Ale." If anything, it's most akin to a Black IPA, but I'm not getting an Belgian character or Double IPA accents.
M: Moderately heavy, with enough pizazz to keep me interested.
O: Not really my thing, and maybe even slightly disappointing. I'm glad I tried it, but I won't have another. Not recommended. I don't have a clue what style this is, and I don't think they do either. I sense a bit more Stone influence than BrewDog.

Stone Brew Co.
Escondido, CA
Beautiful black with a thin off-white head. Messy lacing down the glass.
Lots of roasted malt and some piney hop aroma.
Relatively bitter along with a lot of roasted malt. I don't get any hint of Belgian style yeast. Some pine/citrus flavors but they're definitely muted. Well balanced.
Medium mouthfeel. Ample carbonation.
A solid black IPA/strong ale, but nothing more. If you're looking for a tangy Belgian yeast bite, this will disappoint. That being said, it's a very well balanced, incredibly drinkable, black IPA/strong ale.

Bottled 25/12/2010 (Xmas of 2010!)
I love Stone, and I love Brew Dog. Let's hope I love them both together.
Appears dark. Like, death dark. I can't even see thru it held neat a light. Also, there doesn't appear to be too much carbonation.
Smells thick, full, sweet and roasty with a slight spice note.
Taste is intense. Sweet up-front which then leads to it being drowned by an array of roast + hop that's characteristic of a black IPA. Also, there's an intense spiciness to it as well that I quite enjoy. Lingering tail is the roast flavor and it feels like it comes right off my tongue like simmering water in a bare skillet.
Overall, this is a great brew, and I would see myself getting it again if it were made by Stone in California so as not to be charged the imported rates of being made in Scotland. Cheers!

A lot of dough to pay for such a teeny tiny little bottle. To keep it in perspective, this retails for four dollars less than a 24-pack of domestic swill. So, by definition, this should be 25.7 times better than Coors Original.
The appearance is appropriately black, with a tan head that does a mini clinging act. Pretty but expected.
The aroma is definitely built from the blackened grains used in the mash--but also has a little moldy aspect. Jeez, it is like it has been on the shelf too long or something.
The flavor is appropriately bitter, burnt, ashy, and oaky. Like taking a big bite of walnut wood and oak. And then chewing it. It's exactly like you might think a Black Ale tastes.
The mouthfeel is appropriately frothy and full, a heavier drink but slick enough to be drinkable.
I get it. And by my comments you can understand that this is "appropriately" a Black Ale. It fits right down the middle of the definition, and it serves its style well. However, this is one of the first beers I will dock because of price. I pay a lot of money for beer. I pay good money for good beer. And I don't care. It comes with the territory. But when you are selling nothing more than a decent beer (import or not, don't make the shipping costs an issue) for $12.99 per 11.2 oz bottle (I didn't pay that, but still it retails that much here) you had better make an outstanding product. Or here is a better option: Stay stateside.

Bought a 11.2 FL oz bottle of this from Payless Liquors in Fischers, IN for $4.99. Poured from the Black Bottle with a Stone Gargoyle clawing the BREW DOG sign into a Pint Glass and has batch 352 & bottled on 12/19/10 on the back.
Aroma- Starts with strong roasted malts and yeasty character. Seems dry hopped and has a Strong Ale sort of finish on the nose. An IPA mixed with a Stout?
Appearance- Darkest brown color body that is hazy. Has a less than half finger head that is bubbly and stays bubbly for the entire drink. High Carbonation (bubbles evident) and leaves sudsy lace.
Flavor- Very rich and roasty from the start. Has a bit of spice which came from the yeast and a grainy finish. Very sugary, sweety and has a honey like finish. I could drink many more of these! Terrific!
Mouthfeel- Medium-Full Bodied, Thick, Rich, High Carbonation once again, and has a bit of a warming sensation from the alcohol. Has nice coffee flavor on the back of the tongue once finished.
Overall Impression- I say this is a perfect Black IPA! Shows great complexity and flavor throughout the drink and still drinkable. I knew this Collaboration ale would be impressive! Cheers!

A: Dark black-brown with touches of orange and red at the top of the glass when held up to the light. Muddy coloredheld that dimminished quickly after the pour leaving a ring around the edge of the glass wall. What little head left there is clings to the glass and slowly slides down as the glass is tilted.
S: Chocolate, roastiness, coffee, dark fruits, smoked peat, grain husk, a little spice. Very little hop aroma, especially coming from Stone.
T: A bit of sweet chocolate up front, then there's the Stone hops! The smoked peat and hops bitterness blend in together followed by a bit of alcohol warmth. Vanilla, raisins are swirled in there. Little bit of minerals at the end. Chocolate and hops, with smoke continue to dominate the palate long after it's swallowed.
M: Medium-thick with light carbonation. Coats the tongue leaving a persistent after taste, yet a bit astringent at the same time.
O: Nice beer, complex in flavor. A lot of different things going on at once with the taste. Worth picking up and trying as this is a one time gig between arguably two of the most innovative breweries out there. However, you could probably only do one per sitting and I'd say as your finishing beer (the hops & peat pretty much do your taste buds in). If you can find it and are willing to pay for it, get it. You may never have another chance to do so.

Poured into a snifter.
A: Pours like a darker version of coke with a brownish miscolored head that looks like a dirty washcloth (not an appealing description but I think an accurate one). Not sure what to expect by the look but I'm intrigued!
S: Chocolate, banana, raisin, and bread all come out of this as though they're all baking in the same oven. Smells good.
T: Hops and chocolate, almost like hop infused chocolate itself, a little banana, a little raisin, and some char in the after taste.
M: Smooth and full bodied for the style. It almost leaves a melting residue in the mouth after each sip which honestly makes it feel like you're melting the chocolate and releasing the flavors- delicious!
O: I picked this up for the sheer reason that I try almost anything brew dog makes when I feel I can afford it because I always know I'll get a different experience, and because I respect stone's brews so much of the time. I was surprised with how good this was and I really admired it for taking different flavors that usually divide beers (i.e. chocolate/roasty flavors vs sweet/dark fruit flavors) and bringing them together for a really tasty concoction. An unusual style done unusually well, I would absolutely recommend giving this a try and maybe another try after that.

Bottled 12/19/2010. Consumed July 4, 2011. Cool bottle label with the Stone demon guy behind the BrewDog logo. According to BA this is an American Black Ale. According to the bottle this is "The Black Belgian Style Double India Pale Ale by BrewDog and Stone Brewing." OK. Thanks to titosupertramp for schlepping this guy back from a road trip for me.
A- Black. Not the blackest beer ever, but very dark. Slight red hues when tilted toward the light, but essentially black. Big head that dissipated quickly leaving a lot of sticky foam on the glass in its wake.
S- The smell made itself apparent immediately after opening. Methinks this will not be a timid beer. A good amount of dark fruit. Some roasted malts. A little bite from the 8.5% abv. Some slight Belgianish notes. A very interesting smell that defies easy categorization, as the bottle description implies.
T- Not surprisingly from the label and smell, the taste is not easily pigeonholed into a certain style. Some Belgian-inspired dark fruit notes, a bit of chocolate sweetness, some bite from the hops (which are probably tamed due to this guy being 7 months old.) The bite of the hops is reminiscent of other hoppy Stone brews, and my guess would be that the hop schedule was largely their doing.
M- This is surprisingly light considering the ABV, color, and smell. It's on the heavy side of medium, but I anticipated more.
O- This is a very interesting beer, and one what deserves a shot. I don't know that I'd buy this very often given the shot, but I'm sure as hell glad I got to try it. It is a prime example of brewing outside to confines of style limitations, in my mind.

look: 4 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Poured a dark black color with a darker tan head on it.
Smell is malty with some hops coming through. Not as much as you'd expect. Some stout-like aroma coming through.
Taste is bitter coffee. Not a great flavor. This is my first black IPA but not what I expected. Some hops in the finish but the coffee flavor is overpowering it.
Mouthfeel is very thick. Pretty heavy for an IPA but it's alright.
Overall it's ok but not one of my favorites at all.

The big boys come out to play with this bold idea for a collaboration ale. Stone Brewing Company and BrewDog, a brewery from Scotland, team up to make the bold new beer, Bashah. This sensation of flavors is an 8.6% alcohol by volume, black Belgian style double India pale ale. This beer may not be to everyone's liking but it deserves credit for being a unique idea for a one-of-a-kind beer.
This beer pours jet black and has a moderate dark head as well. It initially reminds me of a stout crossed with pale ale features. The smell of this beer is not strong but does have a nice cross between hoppy, fruity, roasty, and slight hints of chocolate and coffee. The head retention is nice and dissipates evenly after a few minutes.
Tasting this beer the mouth becomes enveloped with a multitude of flavors from both of the collaborated beers. The malts envelope your taste buds as chocolate, coffee, vanilla and molasses flavors and the sugars add to the taste sensation as notes of dark cherries, raisins, and berries. The hops gives a nice, not overpowering, green finish and then leaves you with an enjoyable smokey/burbon lingering finish. With so many strong flavors it is interesting to note that the alcohol is hidden nicely within the balance.
I enjoyed this beer but in no way is it an easy drinking beer. It's worth tasting if you like collaboration beers or beers that push style guidelines. The cherry/bourbon quality with a thick malty/hoppy character makes this a interesting yet balanced beer. I recommend tasting this beer if you get the chance, but it's not worth searching day and night for.

This beer was on tap at the Tap & Table a while ago and I stopped in and grabbed a glasss. It was probably one of the first Black IPA's I have ever tried. This beer came out as a pitch black liquid with a really nice looking thick brown head. The lacing was very nice as well. The smell of the beer was hoppy and roasted all at the same time. The taste of the beer was roasted upfront and semi-sweet which followed right into a hoppy bitter finish. The mouthfeel wasn't overly thick at all. Overall though I found this beer to be pretty damn good all around.

A - Pours a rich dark black color with a finger of frothy tannish head. The head fades fairly quickly down to a think ring around the glass leaving behind some nice lacing.
S - The aroma is a nice mix of roasted malts and earthy hops. There is also a bit of alcohol mixed in as well.
T - Starts off right away with a nice mix of roasted malt and earthy hops. Through the middle the bitterness grows alongside a bit of vanilla that mixes in. The finish is a nice balance of hops and roasted flavors with just a touch of booze that lingers nicely.
M - Medium-full bodied with moderate carbonation. The beer feel really smooth. The finish has a bit of a dry kick that mixes really well with the roasted and slightly sweet flavors.
D - Very drinkable. The balance of roasted flavor and hops here is really great. This is especially true as the beer finishes.

Poured from 12oz. bottle into pint glass.
A: Pours a light black with a light tan head that quickly disappears. A nice film stays across the top of this brew.
S: This is quite the interesting combination of smells. I smell some roasty malts with a hoppy coupling. There are some woody characteristics as well.
T: At first I pick up dry malts and some barley almost like a very light stout. This transforms into a little sweet and bitter hop backbone that floats throughout the drink.
M: Medium bodied with a very oily feeling. Light carbonation as well. Goes down ok and it's pretty deceptive from the sight.
O: This was an interesting brew. Some good flavor profile but I don't think it works as a beer I would come to again and again. It's ok.

It poured a very dark, almost black color but with very little to no head. I usually expect Belgian-style beers to be quite carbonated (due to the bottle conditioning) so I started pouring carefully. But when there were no bubbles I tilted glass back upright and just went right down the middle. Even then I still got a very small head, about 1/8″. There is almost no lacing.
After it was poured, I tried like hell to get some aroma out of it. I don't know if I'm stuffed up or what but I got almost no aroma, other than beer, and even then it is faint. Not a good sign for something that claims to be a double IPA, let alone something from Stone. I would expect a face full of hops here.
The initial taste is actually quite good. You get a some bright hop flavor at the front, which gives way to a more roasted taste in the middle. As the beer finishes, you swear you're drinking a porter, with a pronounced coffee aftertaste. There is little to no "Belgian" in the flavor. I like a beer that has different flavors like this.
As the beer warms up though, it really starts to shine. The hops become a little more pronounced and what I assume to be a Belgian yeast strain starts to come out more. The flavors become more intense but also more blended. (Does that make sense? It does to me.) At this point the 8.6% abv starts to make its presence known as well. The aroma becomes a bit stronger too. But then, as it continues to warm, nearing room temperature, the flavors start to soften and become even more muted than at the beginning. Or maybe my taste buds are starting to become desensitized. Either way the middle third was the sweet spot on this one.
The mouthfeel of the bashah is not that of your typical double IPA. It's not nearly as viscous or resiny. That's not to say the beer is bad, just not typical. Again, there is little to no carbonation present.
According to the label, the beer was bottled on 12/25/10. But that doesn't sound quite right as all the web research I could find had this being brewed in August 2009. Moreover, nothing I could find online says anything it being aged at the brewery or being brewed on more than one occasion. Additionally, it was made with 7500 kg of hops, as you can see in the "recipe" BrewDog posted. But the hops just aren't there. This all leads me to think the date on the label is wrong. Assuming I'm right, the age on the bottle would explain how hops have mellowed. Another interesting tidbit is the bottle is 11.2 fluid oz. I was cheated out of .8 oz of beer! Must be a Euro thing.
Overall, this is a good beer, but not a great beer. It just seems to be trying to be too many things. Is it a Belgo-IPA? Is it a DIPA? Is it a Black IPA? Either way, it doesn't do any of it all that well. The Black IPA or Cascadian Dark American Ale or American Black Ale or whatever the hell you want to call it style is very trendy right now. But it's a style that doesn't seem to deliver very often in my opinion. They don't generally have any balance. It's either all toasted malt or just it just takes like an IPA. The idea of Black IPA really intrigues me. But the execution is often lacking. This would be an example of such a beer coming up short. Again, that's not to say it's a bad beer. It just misses what I think is its intended mark.

Appearance -- Pours a deep, dark nutty brown with a sudsy beige head.
Smell -- Smoke, dark chocolate, and a slim shadow of grapefruit-esque aromatic hops.
Taste -- Roast malt, dark cocoa, mild woodsmoke, and treacle. The hops are still kicking, but clearly not what it once was. Some citrus and a modicum of pine resin bitterness. If thought of as a strong ale, it's nicely balanced at this point.
Mouthfeel -- Medium body with moderate spritzy carbonation. It's pleasant.
Overall -- Not bad. At this point the hops have more-or-less fallen out, putting this more into Strong Ale territory. Nice malting, moderate complexity, but you'd be forgiven if you passed on it. My advice: if it's on sale, buy a bottle.

I had this many times when it was first released in Portland. Both on-tap and in the bottle. Came across it at a local bottleshop & wanted to revisit. 11.2 oz bottle poured into my Portland's Cheers to Belgian Beers glass. Batch 352, bottled on 12/25/10. Merry Christmas.
A: A really dark color. Just a hint of brown when held up to the light. A finger of tan head that died down in a short time period.
S: A hoppy, alcohol, dark malt smell. Notes of coffee.
T: Definately got plenty of fresh tasting hop flavor with a thick caramel malt backbone. A touch of dark chocolate & alcohol coming through too.
M: A thinner mouthfeel upfront with a syrupy characteristic to finish it off. Not any more bitter then I want it to be, and not any less either.
O: Two breweries I have a lot of respect for working together in harmony. My favorite collaboration brew I've ever had tastes just as good as I remember the 6th (or maybe 12th) time around.
