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.

Bottled. Amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is fruits, some ripe fruits and raisins and quite sweet maltyness as well. Flavour is fruity, floral, wooden and mildly earthy.

[Cask at Chippenham BF] Dark brown with a light fizz. Lots of milk chocolate, a little dry roastiness and some black pepper in the finish. Nice, although I’m not sure why you’d name your beer after a skin condition... c8.

Very dark colour. Raisiny, sugar, complex earthy malt aroma. Mellow but with complex earthy malts, dark sugars and faint fruity notes.
