Schwarzbier. Sounds a lot like it.....
Sam Adams makes a Schwarzbier, but they call it their black lager:
Shiner makes a black lager which looks to be somewhere in between styles of either schwarzbier or American black lager:

When one sees a beer with a darker complexion these days, more often than not it’s a porter or a stout. But looks can be deceiving. There exists a style older than both and generally less well known; the schwarzbier, which literally translates to “Black Beer.” Unlike its dark cousins which are ales hailing from Britain, schwarzbier comes from Germany and uses a bottom fermenting lager yeast. Samuel Adams Black Lager is brewed in the tradition of the latter. A medium bodied beer brewed using several different roasts of malt to create a smooth body and depth of malt character that has to be tasted to be believed.

Bohemian Black Lager, crafted according to exacting old-world standards with imported Czech Saaz, Styrians Hops and selected roasted malts, is the darkest beer we brew. Initially added to the Shiner family as our 97 Anniversary Brew, the unique and complex flavor of this rare brew found such a following among our customers that we brought it back for good!

Agreed, but if it is, why not just call it a schwarzbier? A kolsch should not have a malty, roasty flavor like a schwarz though. It is a very light tasting beer. I believe the fancy lawnmower beer is a kolsch.
