I'm coming into town in 3 weeks and have already carted their Bottle Logic BA stout inventory but like any other Chicago shitlord I'll be F5'ing their page every few minutes to ensure all your base belong to me.
Honestly though, look out for Chicago's Half Acre Benthic down there. BA coconut and coffee stout heavy on the flavors. Feel it would be up your alley. Love them here even outside of great beer reasons, so its cool to see they're sending the good stuff elsewhere.

Yeah, I love that place... haven't been since they re-finished their lounge, but might have to now that it's on my mind and the BL supply is a bit low.
King's has
Not My Gumdrop Buttons! in growlers, it looks like... you must like gingerbread, but it's really good. I highly, highly recommend bottles/cans of Study Break as well as Transmit in All Colors. Distant Messenger is 'good'... solid, and a little weird/unique. I clearly need to get down there for Gap Year and Scatter Signal. And finally, Mint Condition is pretty spot on in terms of chocolate mint, but it's a ton of mint.... it's so close to mint ice cream, I think it would actually be better as like a slushy.
Smog City is worth trying, even though I don't see any of their heavier stuff on King's website (Craft Beer Quick Stop might have it).
If you see these Ales from the Crypt by OHSO, they are very tasty from what I've tried. Had the Morning Grind before the SB started and it was surprisingly great.
If you'll have time to hang out somewhere, let me know... and if OTWP is around, maybe we can have a CP beer snob bash.
