Twelve String Red Guitar Red Ale
Bomber from Grocery Outlet. Aroma is citrusy, faint caramel. Pours hazy copper with a thick fluffy long-lasting cream-white head. Taste is moderately to highly bitter with citrusy hop flavors. Maybe a little worty, chalky. Definitely not your standard red/amber. Tastes more like an American Pale Ale verging on IPA. It does have a unique flavor (almost Belgian) that differentiates it from the pack which I can't really describe in words. Not bad.

Twelve String Drop D Stout
Bomber from Grocery Outlet. 6.2% ABV. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, gun metal, cigar ash. Pours black with a one finger beige head that falls into a big-bubbly ring pretty quickly. Taste has only faint sweetness and a moderate to high herbal hop bitterness, finishing lightly dry. Not bad.

Twelve String Drop D Stout
Bottle from Rosauer's. Near black pour with layer of foamy beige head. Aroma brings chocolate first, roast grains, burnt toast. Taste gets unexpectedly sweet, dark chocolate, then some coffee style bitterness. tastes good, body could use some heft.

Twelve String Mango Mambo
Draft at Heritage. Hazy golden, creamy, spotty head, tons of lacing. Aroma is grainy, bready, tropical. Usually mango turns me off, very subtle here. Taste is more grains, mild fruity, tropical notes, creamy mouthfeel. Well done.

Crowler from Growler Guys-Kennewick. Dark brown body, small ring of head,nothing exciting to look at. Roasty aroma, some molasses. Taste is roasty too, soft bitterness, hints of sweetness, a nice velvety feel too. Not exceptional, but decent.

Twelve String Electric Slide Imperial IPA
Bottle from Smokes N Suds. Deep orange color with a finger of creamy beige head. Nice lacing throughout. Aroma is moderate intensity with citrus and piney hops, a bit sweet and sticky. Good hop flavor throughout, like the aroma it is slightly sweet and moderate in bitterness. Good citrus and piney hop taste. Malt base is evident, but the hop presence is solid. Very drinkable.

Twelve String Batch No. 201
Bottle from Smokes n Suds. Copper pour with lots of bubbles, about an inch of creamy beige head. Sporadic bits of lacing. The aroma is soft, citrus and grapefruit mostly with a little maltiness. A faint herbal ice tea sort of thing. Tastes somewhat sweet and modest in the bitter department. Grapefruit and more of the herbal tea. A little malty. Ten years ago this would have been pretty good… a little lacking by today’s standards.

Twelve String Drop D Stout
Bottle from Smokes n Suds. Pours a medium depth brown with a moderate beige head. Roasty aroma, a bit mettalic, and some bittersweetness. Unfortunately the flavor was off... heavy roast and metallic overall. The bitterness and heavy roast was overwhelming and it went down the drain. There was a bit of crusty around the cap’s seal, maybe there was a bottling issue and subsequent problem with the beer. Seeing the other review I’ll give this another chance, but seeing how I’m not in the distribution area it might be a while.

Twelve String Mango Mambo
Bottle from Smokes & Suds, Lewiston. Golden orange color, a bit hazy, small white head. Aroma is mango and a bit of the Hefe wheatiness. Mild flavor, a bit of fruity sweetness, but not overwhelmingly mango. Ends crisply, I like that it is not overly sweet... on point with the brewer’s description. A sleeper in the group, I had low expectations for this and it turned out to be pretty good overall.

10 oz pour- Pours hazy orange with a nice sustaining white head. Aroma is tropical fruits, very peachy. The taste is strong in fruits, peaches and mango, pine resin, not syrupy sweet which seems to be a trend with IPA’s lately. Very tasty stuff.

Twelve String Double Drop D Stout - Whiskey Barrel
On tap @ the brewpub, our fifth brewery on TvM’s Bachelor Party NW Ale Trail Expedition. Darkest brown with Amber highlights. Aroma is a nice blend of black malts and whiskey with funky undertones. The base stout remains dominant on the palate, with lovely rounded whiskey undertones and funky nuances. Surprisingly subtle for such a big body.

Twelve String Jam Session IPA
On tap @ the brewpub, our fifth brewery on TvM’s Bachelor Party NW Ale Trail Expedition. Very hazy golden body, white crown. Intensely hoppy nose of white grapefruit and pine. On the palate the hop profile is fresh and expressive, heaps of white grapefruit with piney undertones. At 6.6% I’m not certain about the "sessionability" of this brew, but as an IPA it is fantastic!
