When Michael Jackson did his Beer Hunter televisions series, the two Trappist breweries he visisted were Chimay and La Trappe. Some people love the La Trappe beers and some don't think they measure up to the Belgian Trappists. They tend to be sweeter (or "less attenuated" in beer geek talk), so it depends on your preference.
