    Its that time of the year when we usually do this, I know we took a year off two years ago but this really is my favorite BIF, don't remember who organizes it, but I wouldn't mind doing it if it meant keeping the tradition alive

    Having missed this the past year or 2 I'd be up for participating.

    I don't know if that specific BIF will be done, but there is a pretty similar one with signups going on right now:
    http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/stout-bif-round-iv.229899/

    This one doesn't require that all the beers are dark, only a core portion (in round 3 my box had 2 porters and the rest were all stouts, but that was just me). This one also specifies stouts specifically, which is a bit different as well.

    With this one in progress, I'd think doing both at roughly the same time of year would be a bit a bit of overlap, but perhaps that's just me.

    Black Booty was a BIF started around 6 or 7 years ago. Just checked 09 was the first year. With it being the cold and dark winter months the idea was a BIF of all black or dark beers. As the years progressed some opened it to Belgian dubbels or quads and UK/US Barleywines. Me personally I always tried to send black beers with nothing lighter in color then a porter. I mean after all is was Black Booty not Chestnut Brown Booty!!! I want to say we kept it on the smaller side-maybe 96 ounces minimum.

    Round 3 was in the fall, round 4 is an early spring shipping date and as far as I can tell signups are still going on.

    I was part of the 1st or 2nd Black Booty. I can't remember who the organizer was. I would love do another BIF after a long hiatus. Maybe figure out who was the last to run this BIF?

    I'll attempt to revive this BIF in the next coming weeks
