    I guess American Double is the double imp. stout.

    Won't fly. Have a beer and think of something else. Too many styles already.

    Throw enough money behind it and you can get anything to stick. Triple IPA....

    I'm personally more comfortable calling the bruery's Black Tuesday, variants, and similar beers, Strong Ales than I am calling them stouts. Same goes for other super high ABV things like it. They are just so wildly different than a stout is. Much more dark fruit flavors and such, less on the chocolate and roasty flavors of a stout.

    Am I missing something? What happened to OP's OP?

    "Moderation" happened to it. This whole thread will likely get nuked since it doesn't really make sense without the OP. I wouldn't be opposed to that, however, since the topic of more styles is not something I want to think about. I'm with @drtth on this one.

    Black Tuesday, Grey Monday, Chocolate Rain, and Mocha Wednesday are all brewed as stouts, and stouts are more than capable of having dark fruit flavors, especially if they adhere to a more English/Belgian representation of the style. There is a pretty drastic difference between BT and variants and the Bruery's actual strong ales, the anniversary beers.

    How strong would that be? Like 20 %?

    If you use some math you'll realize that a double double is simply a quadruple, and that style already exists. :wink:
