Black Diamond Rampage Imperial IPA Clone

I haven't found a clone online for this so I figured I'd add one. I had this when I was in San Francisco on work and even though I don't like IPA's, I loved this beer. I'm in the dry hopping stages but I took a sip of it before moving it to the secondary and it's looking like it's going to be quite delicious. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

If you did not find any clone advice for this beer after your online searches then how did you come up with this one? What was your boil size and batch size?

Bought a kit that was created direct from the brewmaster at Black Diamond - and thanks, forgot to add the volumes to the instructions. Added to original post.

Hey guys, I just had one of these yesterday and if you're looking for an Imperial IPA that's not overly bitter, this one is FANTASTIC! I was able to get close to the original FG and the flavoring is very subtle and a bit fruity. I'm going to enjoy drinking this one.
