I recently had a Porter that started at 1.064 original gravity. It got stuck in the low 20's so I racked it onto a White Labs 099 starter. That took it all the way down to 1.002, making the beer 8.2% ABV.
Would this be considered an Imperial Porter now?
My curiosity is that a beer that goes from a gravity of 1.080 to 1.018 = 8.2%, while a beer that goes from 1.064 to 1.002 = 8.2% but won't have the same "characteristics" as a high starting gravity beer. Are they both considered imperial?
