Named after a local motorbike group who drink in the pub on a very regular basis. They are called the Blackheads due to their crash helmets. They're not ferocious, just very mild.
Blackheads is a traditional mild beer with smokey malt flavours and a peppery aftertaste.

Bottle shared at a ChrisO Tasting - London. Pours clear, red-brown with a fine, filmy beige head. Toasty malt nose, some burnt cocoa. Light sweet flavor, toasty and roasty, faintly tangy, with a bit more cocoa. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Simple sweet finish, more toasty malts, bland cocoa. Just a little bland on the whole - but it is a mild.
