Jury Duty - And a Question
Off doing my civic duty, which is bound to hamper blogging. But while I'm gone, could I crowdsource an answer to this question: which CDAs were released this year? (I'm starting to think about my annual year-end wrap-ups, and CDAs are getting some ink.) Widmer started things off with W '10. Then there was Oakshire O'Dark 30, Deschutes' Hop in the Dark and recently Full Sail's Bump in the Night. Am I missing any?

Are you looking for strictly packaged options, or strictly OR beers? Need more criteria!
Ignoring any restrictions, here's what I've got for bottles released in the last year:
~Stone/BrewDog Bashah
~HUB Secession
~Mad River Serious Madness
~SDouthern Tier Iniquity
~21st Amendment Back In Black
~Alaskan Double Black IPA
That's everything that was released in Oregon in the last year. I left off a couple others like Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous and Rogue Brewer because they came out in 2009 or prior.
I'll add to Chris' list draft wise;
-Pyramid Discord
-Terminal Gravity CDA
-Boneyard Armored Fist
-Collaborator Ale-X
Ones older than this year;
Three Creeks 8 second IBA,
Laughing Dog Dogzilla
Barley Brown's Turmoil
Walking Man Big Black Homo
I should have waited a few minutes before posting the previous comment because Victory Yakima Glory just rolled in as well.
We did one at Alameda. Cascadian Coal. We did 2 batches and it's all gone for the time being.
My 2010 Predictions wrap-up will also be spending some time on CDAs. Here are a few more from people still calling them Black IPAs:
Alaskan - Double Black IPA
Alchemist - El Jefe
Amager - Black Nitro (Denmark)
Bitter Root - Black IPA
Clown Shoes - Hoppy Feet
Grand Teton - Trout Hop
LoneRider - Grave Robber
Odell - Mountain Standard
Otter Creek - Alpine Black IPA
Speakeasy - Midnight Run
Terrapin - Capt'n Krunkles
Tied House - Menage a Singe
Twisted Pine - Hoppy Knight
Upland - Komodo Dragon Fly
Cheers!

Another one that apparently started in 2009, although I didn't see it until the 2010 batch: Big Time Dark Days Black IPA.
This is fantastic--thanks, all! Further proof that you are smarter than I.
(Also: I didn't get selected to serve on an actual jury, sadly. I was looking forward to it.)
Down San Diego way, Alpine Brewing put out a Black IPA this year named - appropriately enough - Ugly. It's the single best example of the style that I've ever sampled. Those boys do have a way with the hoppy stuff - sure wish we could get some of their beers up here.
Hopworks Secession!
That was my favorite, came out about the same time the Oakshire CDA came out
