Awesome! Hercules is probably one of the few GDBC beers I've yet to try for some reason. I have no doubt it tastes amazing considering all of their beers are flawless in my opinion. You can just keep those Great Divide clone recipes coming

Been trying to clone this one for a while. Not much info available on it, as the brewery is tight lipped on the recipe (not in a fun way like stone & Arrogant Bastard). Gonna give your recipe a run as my first beer of 2012.

I think you will be pleased with it, I also use a hopback with this recipe.
