Black Rat

[perseus]

I think this cider is well OK. I think they have reduced the strength to 6% alcohol. Some Goverment alcohol regulations bringing cider in line with beer.

Recommended. Don't drink more than eleven pints a night though cause they will not be any left for anybody else.!

Cider is for girls surely.

I agree Doug.

Cider is for girls surely.

Yes. Having said that I know of a few men who like cider in summer.
It's refreshing.

I thought this was going to be a thread about the bubonic plague.

Here are some other black rat FACTS:

This fellow likes moist fruits as well as cereals and will eat 15 grams per day.
He still has to drink, but less than the brown rat, round about 15 ml per day.
Again the lady rat is pregnant for about 3 weeks(Gestation Period).
The litter size can be somewhat larger at between 5 to 10 per litter.
Numbers of litters per year is between 3 to 6.
The black rat takes longer to mature sexually, usually 12 to 16 weeks.
The mortality rate is the same as the brown rat, i.e. 90%.

Only the draught is recommended. Fizzy cider is naff.

Anybody ever go the 'The Hatch', a pub at Coleman's Hatch near East Grinsted ? They used to brew their own stuff. You didn't realise how lethal it was until the floor flew up and hit you in the Face.

Just come back from a weekend in Dorset.
And although I agree cider is a girly drink, watching 'real' men drinking stuff that looks like petrol from a hot plastic bottle, is a sight to behold.

It's always amusing to hear cider described as a "girls' drink" when, normally, it is significantly stronger than any of that lager or real ale stuff that "men drink"...

Yup, couple of mates are committed cider drinkers and if you look along the bar taps cider kicks ass in strength terms.

The fact it's called Black Rat isnt very appealing!
