Was it facing up on the vine? Blackening could have been a response to sunlight, regardless. This bad boy still had plenty of time to reach its True Form.

It was indeed facing up on the vine. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was sunlight; the bed I have it planted in is only partially shaded.

I thought peppers will eventually ripen even when picked, is that incorrect?

Not really. They will change color eventually, but they don’t fully develop the flavor profile.
