Yes, cold brew coffee is one of the more concentrated coffee drinks and is higher in caffeine than other coffee beverages. 

Despite the low extraction temperature, it is still a very caffeinated beverage. The very concentrated coffee to water ratio of 1:8 is the reason why there is a lot of caffeine when compared to other coffee drinks. 

If it was brewed with hot water it would have even more caffeine as hot water extraction yields more caffeine.
