Stephen Beaumont, author of The Premium Beer Drinker's Guide, recommends these Belgian Trappist Ales:
Orval: Sweet, sour and bitter flavors all wrapped in one.
Rochefort 8: One of the great beers to drink with chocolate.
Chimay: The most famous Trappist ale in the United States.
Chimay White: The only Trappist you can find on draft in the United States
Westmalle Tripel: A notable strong, blonde ale that's great paired with asparagus.
