I started out with the idea of brewing an alt using California lager yeast, but the brew shop forgot to add the 3 0z black patent I was going to use for color. I substituted roasted malt for that, but roasted isn't really right for the style. Is this looking like a schwartzbier? A marzen? A variant steam beer? I can't find reference to anything that fits an official style. I'm sure it'll be tasty, so I don't care all that much, but it has piqued my curiosity. Any guesses?

6 lbs Weyermann Pilsner
4 oz roasted malt
