Snakebite is larger and cider.It becomes Snakebite and Black with the addition
of blackcurrant cordial.It was very popular with goths back in the day but I've
not seen anyone drinking it for a good many years.
I used to skip the lager and just drink Cider and Black which is almost bareable
if you absolutely have to drink something that comes in pints.
