From Home Brewing Wiki
While there are some well-defined high-alcohol Imperial beer styles, such as Imperial IPA and Russian Imperial Stout, almost any beer can be brewed to a higher than usual gravity, bitterness, or strength, to create an experimental or Specialty Imperial Beer.
[edit] Competition guidelines
In BJCP competitions, these beers should be entered as Specialty Beers. However, the GABF guidelines contain a special designation for beers brewed stronger than usual.

| Any style of beer can be made stronger than the classic style guidelines. The goal should be to reach a balance between the style's character and the additional alcohol. The brewer must provide the base style that is being created stronger and/or appropriately identify the style created (for example: double alt, triple fest, imperial porter or quadruple Pilsener). Beer entries not accompanied by this information will be at a disadvantage during judging.
