Damn, you guys have my number. Take it away, Qhrumphf.
I was between czech/bohemian pils, and baltic porter. Hence the SRM question 
Alright, got one. Fire away.

I suppose I expected to have to deal with the "Lager or Ale?" ambiguity before it was guessed

reinheitsgetbooty compliant?
Depends. Are we talking the original version? It can be, but sometimes isn't. The more modern version? Usually is, but doesn't necessarily have to be. So let's just call it "usually".

aw man, those are super vague.
Does it contain wheat?
Does it contain wheat?
Is it typically fermented with ale yeast?
That'd depend on the brewer's interpretation, but I'd say no, not normally. And if it does contain wheat, it shouldn't be a major character.
Yes, it uses ale yeast.

The vagueness is narrowed a bit by the semi-compliance with the Reinheitsgebot, although I'm having some trouble wrapping my head around that.
Does it typically require a special fermentation/aging vessel?
Does it typically require a special fermentation/aging vessel?
Doesn't require a special fermenter.
As for the Reinheitsgebot compliance, I don't think I'm giving too much away to say that sugar is often used for a boost. Prohibited under the original, but allowed in ales under the modern (at least, that's my recollection of the law).

is there an underlying style that would fit into a separate category? (ex. Rye stout)
Interesting; that makes sense. Does it typically benefit from extended aging?
Yes there is!
And no it does not!

Black IPA/Cascadian Dark/IBA?
Bingo! You're up!
Nice one; that got more complicated than I would've anticipated .
All right, guess away.
