I understand where the term Imperial comes from but I was wondering when you can call your brew an Imperial "Insert style". I have a brown ale that is 9.2% and had a friend tell me it was an Imperial Brown Ale because of the high ABV. Is there a certain ABV you have to be at before you can call it an Imperial? What if the brew is high ABV, not hoppy, and not thick?
