If I love the taste of that, what else might some of you guys suggest? Any of the other Trappist ales compare tastewise?

It's been a long time since I've had a Chimay, but I recall it being very good. I'll let others who are more familiar with Trappist styles chime in on suggestions for you. I've had Ommegang, Delirium, Duvel and Three Philosophers. All were great, not sure how similar they are to Chimay--I think they are different styles.
Here's a British stout I tried this weekend:
A bit thin & dry for my tastes in stouts.
