Review – Pit Stop Porter from Half Moon Bay Brewing

IMG_6716

Mavericks, the sessionable series of beers from Half Moon Bay Brewing arrived at Bevmo when I wasn’t looking and in addition to the porter there are a Pale Ale (Back in the Saddle) and a Wit (Pace Setter) in cans.

The Porter pours a dark brown.  The taste is straight up a mix of chocolate and vanilla and the latter is what comes through to my palate.  Semi-sweet but not cloying.  A tiny fraction of roast notes sneak in there as well.  Quite smooth as well.

National Novel Writing Month is taking it’s time toll on me, but I have found the time to watch a bit of Almost Human (one of the two Fringe people shows), the other being Sleepy Hollow.  I don’t know where this show is headed but I am intrigued.  Maybe it is the SciFi geek in me but it looks promising.
