Almost more of a stout than a black lager, I'd say. I thoroughly enjoyed my bottle... might have to go back for another.

Stout is an ale...so if its black and its a lager, then its a black lager.

There are myriad historical and contemporaneous examples of stouts and porters made with lager yeast.

Interesting, I stand corrected.

The Paul's Black lager was really good stuff. I'll have to give this a try too.

Even if there were not already examples of stouts made with lager yeast (as remilard pointed out), this beer would be the first. It's like a imperial stout crossed with a schwartzbier. Big, roasty, coffee taste and aroma... it's a good beer.

That makes sense then. Baltic porter, which is pretty much what you are describing is fermented with lager yeast.
I had one of these a week ago. I saw black lager and expected schwartzbier-ish, but same as other posters, I was surprised (and pleased) but the level of roast. SWMBO and I really enjoyed it. She liked it so much that she picked up another bottle unsolicited.
It got a 97 on ratebeer FWIW.
