Looking for an imperial red extract kit...

Anyone know if anyone makes one of these?
It's for a friend who loves Big Hoppy Monster. I assume this beer uses an american ale yeast as opposed to an irish ale yeast?
I really have no idea, and could possibly cobble together a recipe, but if I can direct them to a kit it would be a lot easier.
Thanks!

Well, they do have all the grains on the website:

You could plug those into Beersmith/Brewtarget and probably come up with something close. It doesn't look like a simple beer, that's for sure.

Also here on Austin Homebrew:

This Imperial version of our Irish Red Ale is a smooth flavorful red ale, and then some. Sure and Begorrah! It features Caramunich® and Crystal 120L grains. O.G. = 1.074. Approximately 7.3% ABV.

Sounds like a job for Jamil's Evil Twin.

I noticed that kit on their site. Is it an imperial red?

My LHBS has an Imperial Red extract kit that I've made before. It got rave reviews, especially from yours truly.

Here's a link to the PDF: http://www.keystonehomebrew.com/beerkits/beerkits/Imperial_Red_Ale.pdf
