Old rating - A 330ml bottle from Sainsbury's in West Sussex. Pours a brown colour with a off white foamy head. Aromas & tastes of honey & sweet malt. Medium carbonation. Not so much as a brown ale as a Honey Dark Ale so quite unique & actually enjoyable.

Bottle from lowcostbeer.com, consumed past BBE. Amber brown with small beige head. Big honey aroma, light toasted malt, brown bread. Taste follows; quite sweet with honey but crusty brown bread, lime zest and a spiky carbonation gives this a bit more oomph than your average honey beer despite the lack of hops.

Bottle from Sainsbury's Supermarket. Deeper golden with a head. Its honey aroma is noticeable quite early after opening the bottle and is light to medium in taste. Fuller mouthfeel with a smoothish texture.

330ml bottle - gift - as Hiver Amber Ale. Copper body, no head. Nose is malty, caramel, sweetish honey notes. Sweet malty taste, bite of honey, slight smokiness. Not bad.

Bottle, £1.30 on sale on that Ocado. Aroma has subtle honey and a hint of sourness. Opaque chestnut brown. Thin translucent white head offers sparce coverage. Light bitter with a sour edge. The honey sweetness then follows up and is pretty restrained. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat-medium bodied. Pretty abrupt finish. Pleasant enough.

330 ml bottle, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.5%. Clear reddish amber colour, moderate white (or slightly off-white) head. Aroma of malts, honey and caramel, hints of brown bread. Smooth and soft mouthfeel, moderate carbonation. Smooth malty flavour with distinct notes of honey, hints of caramel and brown bread again.
Minimal hops.

Bottle from local Sainsburys Has an enticing nose of honey and golden syrup. Pours the classic “bitter brown” with a small transient off-white head. Carbonation is higher on the tongue than appears to the eye. Honey and malts in the mouth combine with a hint of orange citrus. Has a sweetness that lingers in the finish. Pleasant enough, but not something I would seek out again.

Bottle. Clear light brown/dark amber with a decent white head. Aroma of malt lozenges, honey and plums. Taste is malts, honey, caramel, dried fruits and some metal. Sweetness starts low but grows unfortunately... Moderate bitterness. Low to medium carbonation. Ok for a self-proclaimed Honey Ale I guess (but way too sweet for my liking).
