Sometimes they can be quite moody after brumation so it's possible it's just mood related rather than health related.

But no, he just got done brumating though, but otherwise, he eats like a dream, and always has. When I went to take a picture of him, he was very interested in what I was doing, so he's definitely alert.

His spikes out the shade look not black at all, are you sure he's not just doing the grey beard thing (rather then full on BBing .... full on BBing is very unmistakeable and more common from juvenile and subadult and young in their prime adults (hormonal / horny boys).
My solution for "grey bearding" = darker grey throat and black whisker spikes and for blackbearding is to give beardie something they enjoy (food treats) and to a snuggle. They usually loose the grey beard and even the bb and are soon showing their happy colours.
He may just be telling you "more mommy / daddy time please", "more food please", "I wasn't ready to go back in my tank yet" , if he's not just a bit hormonal.

Just registered here. such a good site.
Was just reading this post in regards to black beard and discomfort etc.
Unfortunately my male beardy passed away last week suffering from these very symptoms at th age of 6
The only thing that has changed within the last month is a house move and after two days, he began showing all the above signs and died in his sleep. Not sure if coincidence or house move would do that or not? Planned a vet trip but it wasn't soon enough it was quite rapid.
Sorry to dampen the thread but as above, same symptoms so thought I'd share, hopefully not scare.
He has now been replaced with a couple of month old Male baby
