It's a very different beer than those you mentioned. I think it is considerably better than Dark Lord, but again, they are very different beers. Dark Truth's yeast does lots of different stuff to it; it isn't nearly the malt monster that some Imperial Stouts are.

Imperial Stouts? Available in KC, in no particular order:

Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch Weasel
Founders Breakfast Stout
Founders Imperial Stout
Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout (available in March)
Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout
Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Vanilla Stout (super-limited quantities next month)
De Struise Black Albert
Brasserie Dieu Du Ciel Peche Mortel
Goose Island Night Stalker (maybe in April)
Boulevard Dark Truth Stout
Schlafly Reserve Bourbon Barrel-aged Imperial Stout
Odell Bourbon Barrel Stout
Bell's Expedition Stout
Great Divide Espresso Oak Aged Yeti
Great Divide Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti
North Coast Old Rasputin

KC doesn't get that many great Imperial Stouts. The best Midwest stouts don't get here, and the best coastal stouts don't get here.

You should be able to get all but the GI Vanilla & Founders KBS at Lukas or Gomer's Lee's Summit.

Man, the Lukas by my house (119th Metcalf) has like maybe 5 of those. Maybe.

irishjayhawk 11-29-2010 09:06 PM

Sidenote: I'm surprised you didn't include Avery's Mephistopheles.

Isn't there a good liquor store down State Line around 119? (Brother-in-law used to live on Metcalf right in that area as well). Spent many a night at the Fox and Hound around there and eaten at the Winstead's quite a bit.

Ahh. Is it that far south? I thought there was something pretty large right there on State Line and 435? It was a really crowded, crappy looking store inside, but it had a pretty damned good selection.
