I want to get an imperial stout going for the new year.

[homebrewnewbie]

I recently made a great chocolate porter, and I want to enhance the body, gravity, and overall richness. I'm unsure if the basics that are needed for the imperial stout style, suggestions would be much appreciated.

Bottled: Carmel Dark Ale
Secondary: Smoked and Oaked Belgian Dubbel
Drinking: Ommegang Golden Trippel

If you got started today, you could have a good Imperial Stout ready by New Years... of next year.

Not sure what exactly you're looking for... there's a huge recipe section here if that's what you want. Or look at recipes at some of the bigger online retailers (Midwest, Northern Brewer, MoreBeer, etc.). And don't forget, Google is your friend.
