I second the Fuller's Stout, Nonoise. Their ESB is another go-to choice for me. Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout is also a favorite anytime we have 3 feet of snow on the ground.
Goose Island - Sofie - 6.5%. Belgian Style Farmhouse Ale. Brewer's Notes: Fermented with wild yeasts and aged in wine barrels with orange peel, Sofie is a tart, dry, sparkling ale. A subtle, spicy white pepper note, a hint of citrus from the orange peel and a creamy vanilla finish.
It seems one can't go wrong with any of Fuller's brews. Like Mitch2 says, their ESB is fine and I really like their London's Pride as well. Right now I'm savoring some Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale, a might fine ale if there ever was one.
Oh, and Deschute's Obsidian Stout is quite tasty, imparting only hints of chocolate and coffee instead of bombarding you with them.
