Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale (not his Pale Ale, whatever you do). This is an expensive ale, quite tasty and unusual, and worth it on occasion. Best served quite chilled (as with all ales IMO).

If you like really strong thick dark stuff, almost syrupy (which I do), you might try McEwan's. I haven't had it in a long time, let's see: there's McEwan's Scotch Ale, McEwan's Edinburgh Ale, and another one.

Best way to chill ales: wait for a good snowfall and thrust the bottles into a snowbank outside your door or window. Reach for one as the spirit moves you.
