    (for the newbies)
    Black Beauty is the nickname.
    The proper terminology is Improper Annealing or Improperly Annealed

    Here is the information -
    Improper Annealing (error-ref.com)

    One example from my collection

    Neat. ANACS is the only TPG that would use as an attribution "Black Beauty" on the label.
