If you are wondering what I was going on about at the beginning of the audio with "Black, Black, BLACK" it's from this rather old but awesome show:

Flying Dog Horn Dog

Not bottle conditioned

Flying Dog Horn Dog [baron rating 5/5] - 10.2% dark amber ale,brown sugar smell,sugary candied fruit resinous taste,sweet candied finish Baron Orm

We actually reviewed this back in 2011 (which I'd forgotten about) and it had a different label then, but it's as good now as it was back then - awesome beer!
