Default Spaten Munich Dunkel as an ale

Would it be possible to brew an (extract) Munich Dunkel as an ale? I had a Spaten Dunkel yesterday and I would like to replicate this at home. Unfortunately I don’t have lager capacity with my setup.

Just substitute a clean fermenting ale yeast for lager yeast. It wouldn't be true to style, but fermenting relatively cool with some aging time could produce a nice dunkel-like ale I suppose.

I am interested in this as well - would someone who has tried it maybe care to comment on their results?
