Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale

If you like a British style brown ale—and I definitely do—then you'll love this brew which has all the heartwarming familiarity of your first car (which was undoubtedly better than mine) or a beloved old pair of jeans. It's a classic in its class and, for me, a reminder of my days back in the old country, where such ales are of course fairly common. I can't make up my mind how to rate it, so I'm going to say it straddles a gap between Recommended and Highly Recommended, which estimation should at least place you in the ballpark.
