Beer Flash: Ninkasi's "Vanilla Oatis" stout

Greetings from La Push, WA! Today and tomorrow we're staying in La Push, with tomorrow spent hiking with my brother Dan in the Hoh Rainforest in the Olympic Range. Today we did Hurricane Ridge:

And, of course, after a long day of driving and hiking, we came back to the cabin (Wi-Fi enabled naturally) for a beer. We brought along a few in the cooler, and chose Ninkasi's "Vanilla Oatis," a 7.00% ABV oatmeal stout made with whole vanilla beans. It was surprisingly strong and powerful, with some vanilla extract flavors coupled with a strong alcoholic stout flavor. I would have wagered it was a 9% ABV or more. I was, however, a little disappointed since I was hoping it would have been smoother. But - still good, and tastes great after a long day of hiking.
