Rizzle, here are a couple links that list other similar beers. The first link is for beers like your Chimay Grand Reserve, normally referred to as "triples." The second link is for very similar, but slightly lighter Belgian ales, normally called "dubbles."

I would also suggest that you check out some of the gift packs available this time of year in better beer/liquor stores. Ommegang has a holiday gift pack of 3 Belgian-style ales (750ml), plus a flute, for about $25. This is a good value and excellent beer. Unibroue also has a 4 pack, one each of their 4 best selling beers (330ml), for about $10.

Definitely try the Rochefort 8, it's a real treat.
