Youngs Double Chocolate Stout

I am pretty new to home brewing. I was wondering if there is a clone of Young's DCS? It's one of my favorites and I would love to be able to make a home brew of something as close to it as possible. Any ideas?

By the way I do extract not all grain just yet.

I myself am looking for a clone of Youngs DCS. I will post if I find anything.
