What category is Russian Imperial Stout now?
« on: December 23, 2016, 09:55:19 am »
I'm trying to fill out a competition entry form.  This is the first time I've looked at the latest BJCP guidelines and I'm not sure what style RIS is.  There doesn't appear to be a style named RIS?

Thanks.  I understand their reasoning, but it was not intuitive to me to check American styles for what I understood to be a British beer.

BJCP 2015 guidelines as an appendix A on pg 71 that breaks down the category change from 08 to 15 version.
