To expand on that, I should use the opportunity to include "double" in this thread. Double typically signifies "more" of something but should NOT be taken to literally mean twice as much of that thing. More often than not, it is an indication of a higher strength beer. Today, it is sometimes used interchangeably with "imperial" in this regard. Popular variant occurrences include the Belgian "dubbel" (which is dark in color by convention rather than a "rule"), German "Doppelbock" (although Salvator was not originally a high ABV brew), and American "DDH IPA" (in this controversial case, the reference is to hopping). Historical terms include the 19th century dubbelt öl, dobbel gerst, double Diest, and double uytzet; but the term was used in brewing throughout Europe and for centuries. Like single, double, triple, (and quad); English brewers in the past used a similar system for indicating an ascending order of strength (such as for milds and porters): X, XX, XXX, and XXXX. To illustrate even more cross-over, in the present day, Belgian brewer De Ranke's XXX Bitter is a variation of their XX Bitter with 50% more hops.

Not that Poo-Bah automatically equates to beer knowledge, but on average those that have attained that level have been here a while, have reviewed a lot of beers and styles, have seen most topics come around several times, and do have something to offer on pretty much every topic.
