It's not supposed to be roasty like a stout. The black is mainly color.

Sorry hop hoarder but last I checked Canada and the United States are both in North America.
Yes they are but when you say "American" the common perception is a referral to the U.S. alone, which is my point. Incidentally Phillips Brewery in Victoria, Canada also had a hand in developing and popularizing the style. Plenty of American references already in beer styles, time for something different eh. Incidentally I like using only either Carafa or Midnight Wheat in making my CDAs dark.
