Cheddar with caramalised onion = yes Wenslydale with cranberries = yes White Stilton with apricot = nope nope nope. One of my faves is sage Derby, full of sage as you might expect, it's green too so is very pretty. I have also tried Sticky Toffee Cheese, which was fab. That was at a country fair.

In Canada, where they go big on unnecessary additions to cheese and cheese is served with practically every meal, I came across cheddar with Guinness. It was black, black and wrong.
