In my flurry of frantic action to hopefully find a beer in the fridge, I completely turned off my brain when it came to seeing the Black Dog Ale -- hell, I even blocked out the label. Apparently, I'm a dumbass. If you stick around and revisit the blog in the future, you'll see me firmly implant foot in mouth plenty more times. Todd – Nope, you’re right on.

I've had it, and it certainly seems pretty aleish to me. That, and the name is kind of a giveaway. Am I missing something about the history of the style that accounts for your inclusion of amber ale as part of the lager family? I'm just about evenly divided here between curiousity and know-it-all-itude.

It's an ale, but since it's generally classified as an Amber, I figured that it's part of the Lager family in a third-cousin-twice-removed sort of way. No bait.
