Variations exist, with English and American interpretations (predictably, the American versions have more bitterness, roasted character, and finishing hops, while the English varieties reflect a more complex specialty malt character and a more forward ester profile). The wide range of allowable characteristics allow for maximum brewer creativity.

The BJCP does not allow the full textual descriptions to be included in other publishings, go to Russian Imperial Stout on their site for details.
