55/1036) Junction Craft Brewing:  Bockscar Winter Bock by Junction Craft Brewing of Ontario:  **;  5 oz., 7.5%, 34 ibu;  pale amber colour with a sweet, malty nose;  malty, mildly sweet;

56/1037) Junction Craft Brewing:  Night Train Dark Ale by Junction Craft Brewing of Ontario:  *1/2;  4.5%,;  pours as dark as a stout;  chocolate, mocha nose;  very malty and grainy with a hint of chocolate at the finish;

57/1038)  Junction Craft Brewing:  Santa Rosa Special (unfiltered):  **;   a 5.2% West Coast APA;  cloudy, as one might expect;  very pale - the same colour as ginger ale; citrusy nose, grapefruit notes;

I made this a new entry as I judged that pouring it unflitered brought something different to the party. By way of example, the bottled version is 5.0%.  Readers may recall I did something similar when I encountered unfiltered Steam Whistle.

58/1039) Indie Ale House:  King Richard's English Bitter by Indie Ale House of Ontario:  **;  4.5%,;  brewed with English malts;  pours deep brown;  rich and flavourful;  sweet and malty;  there are porter/stout elements to this bitter;

All things considered the odds are against me passing up a beer playfully referred to as "King Richard's Bitter.

59/1040)  Indie Ale House:  Coffee Porter by Indie Ale House:  **; on cask;  nose is more mocha than coffee;  rich mocha flavours with a sweet mocha finish

60/1041)  Indie Ale House:  Quiet Time Coffee Chocolate Bourbon Stout by Indie Ale Hose of Ontario:  **1/2;   10.5%;  wow;  there's a tart cidery nose and the tartness lingers through mocha and sweet bourbon notes;

The glasses at Junction Craft Brewing were five ounces.  Whoever invented the flight of beer was a genius.

I also did some shopping while I was there.
