Renegade Brewing Co. - Hiatus Oatmeal Ale

I thought this was a stout....I was wrong

Beer Advocate lists it as a Brown Ale, Renegade's website lists it as an oatmeal ale; what's clear is that the cold-brewed coffee which Hiatus is infused with is what is overwhelmingly present. I'm really having to dig for something other than coffee amid all the...coffee.

Hiatus pours the color of a milk chocolate candy bar, with a skanty brown head. The mouthfeel is about what you'd expect from a decent porter - must be the oatmeal. The ABV is midrange, about 6.5% with 40 IBUs, about what you'd expect from a weak IPA or a strong pale ale. Despite my nitpicking, this is a really solid beer, tasty too!
