Terre Haute Brewing Company Reviews

jefcon	2.6 Terre Haute Champagne Velvet Grainy and rough, like many of these throwback beers are. Full for a pilsener, with mostly corn notes and hothouse hops. Friday, April 11, 2014
hopdog	1.2 Terre Haute Velvet Amber 12oz bottle acquired in trade with atpayne (thanks!). Poured a medium to deeper amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of vegetables and light caramel in the background. Tastes where way off. Sour and buttery. On my way to the sink... Tuesday, August 22, 2006
Tmoney99	2.5 Terre Haute Champagne Velvet Draft sample at IBGF 06. Amber color with an averaqge frothy white head with fair lacing. Moderate hoppy roasted aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finsh of moderate duration. Tuesday, August 8, 2006
schwaiger	3.8 Terre Haute Gold Label Bock 12 oz. bottle. Poured a plum red brown with a small, fully lasting, ultra creamy off-white head. Nice lacing. Looks impressive. Aroma of chocolate and raisins - like raisinettes in my beer - with some other nameless sugary malty smells and some light alcohol. Flavor is - eeerreeech! - this is not a bock. This is a sour. Maybe an off bottle, but I’m willing to follow through and see where it goes. Apple cider vinegar and unripe apples, lightly sweet, seriously sour. Still, not unenjoyable, and a surprisingly creamy mouthfeel. Medium bodied. Weird, but good. Tuesday, August 1, 2006
Brentlinger	4.1 Terre Haute Champagne Velvet A great beer to replace all those macro-beers everyone is "used" to. Good reason to go to Terre Haute too. Tuesday, May 9, 2006
thedm	2.4 Terre Haute Gold Label Bock This bottled brew poured a medium sized head of mostly diminishing light brown colored fine to medium sized bubbles that left behind a good lacing and a transparent softly carbonated caramel brown colored body. The aroma was sweet with malty hoppy doughy notes. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and mellower in the finish with a thin flavor that was dry semi-sweet and only mildly bock like. There was a slight vinegar note mixed in with the malty base. Overall it left a dry mouth feel once quaffed. Wednesday, October 26, 2005
sudsmeister	1.2 Terre Haute Gold Label Bock Bottled. This stuff reminds me of Camo, but was $7.99 a sixer. Non existent head. Metallic aftertaste. Very thin and watery. One positive, though, is that the quicker you drink it, the better it tastes. Sunday, October 16, 2005
atpayne	2.5 Terre Haute Velvet Amber Pours very clear amber, with red and brown tones, with a minimal tan head. Aroma is malty, but very sweet and with a fruity vinegar aroma. Smells smooth but vinigar makes it a little off. Flavor is tangy from malt, but has a vinegar flavor that is off putting. Vinegar gives a fruityness but is’s messy and not put together well. The interestering aroma was the best part of it. Tuesday, September 27, 2005
Tmoney99	2.7 Terre Haute Gold Label Bock Draft In New Albany, IN. Dark brown color with a moderate creamy off-white head that diminished slowly. Moderate sweet malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Complex bitter sweet malt and fruit flavor with a short bitter finish. Interesting below average brew. Sunday, September 11, 2005
hotstuff	2.3 Terre Haute Gold Label Bock Bottle. Small ivory head that mostly dissipated, fine, small, medium and very large sized bubbles, poor lacing, transparent, minimal carbonation, and a reddish brown hue. Aroma was malty, chocolate, caramel and sweet. Sweet, bitter, malty, thin, and weak. Smooth, thin palate. Light body. Not impressed. Monday, August 29, 2005
burgerlicious	2.4 Terre Haute Gold Label Bock Medium brown body with minimal head. The sweety flavor was almost fruity. Not so good. Saturday, July 30, 2005
burgerlicious	2.8 Terre Haute Velvet Amber Body is a medium amber hue. I usually don’t give such vague comments, but the only way to descibe this one is "weird." It just didn’t sit well with me. Saturday, July 30, 2005
sandwichpants	2.9 Terre Haute Gold Label Bock A bottle from my parent’s home town of Terre Haute, Indiana. Tasted kinda like a newcastle (though I find the taste of newcastle quite inconsistent), though more germanic maltiness. Could’ve had a bit more aroma, but it tasted alright. Friday, July 22, 2005
apoptosis	2 Terre Haute Gold Label Bock Dark, reddish-brown body. Not very aromatic. General malts, slightly sweet and slightly metallic. THe flavor is hard to palate, with its vitamin C-like astringency. Very acidic and very bitter. Could something have been wrong with the brew? Sunday, July 17, 2005
notalush	2.4 Terre Haute Gold Label Bock I think my sample may have been a bit off - it had a hearty, thick caramel and chocolate flavor, but it was cut with a major acidic, almost metallic bitterness that certainly didn’t taste like it belonged there - it’s a shame, because this seemed like it could have been a good bock. Friday, July 15, 2005
BBB63	2 Terre Haute Gold Label Bock Bottle: Cola borwn hue with a small fizzy lasting head and good lacing. The aroma isn’t too bad, caramel and toasty malts, subdued mocha, grassy and floral hops, and a hint of sour apple. The taste is another thing, starts malty but then a lactic note and vegetable undertone ruins it. The feel is fizzy and weak for something this "big". Arrgh I wanted this to be good, but alas, it was a waste of time. Wednesday, June 8, 2005
Cornfield	2.3 Terre Haute Gold Label Bock "Champagne Velvet Gold Label Brand Bock Beer" - Bottle: Pours a cola color with a fizzled out white head. The aroma is faint - roasty with caramel and chocolate. This is watery stuff and I find it hard to believe it’s got a 7.5% ABV. The taste is caramel, chocolate, and a touch of dirtiness that may be representing hops. Clean finish. Finished. Friday, June 3, 2005
jaymobrown	2.7 Terre Haute Gold Label Bock Brown color. Didn’t notice much aroma coming off here. Had a sweet, candy, sugar, caramel flavor. Sort of thin dry mouthfeel. Tuesday, April 12, 2005
atpayne	2.6 Terre Haute Gold Label Bock On tap at BW3’s downtown Indy. Brown with red tones and a brownish head. Slightly malt aroma, but not much of a aromatic presence. Bananna flavor in the malt, fairly bready and a faint alcohol presence. Nothing really stands out at makes this a noticable beer. Sunday, March 27, 2005
Lubiere	2.7 Terre Haute Velvet Amber Golden lager with a boiled vegetable aroma, and diacetyl. The diacetyl comes out in mouth too, but gets a reprieve from the malts and hops. Apart from the aroma , good lager. (July 31 at Indiana Microbrewers Festival) Tuesday, December 14, 2004
thedm	2.4 Terre Haute Champagne Velvet This draft brew poured a small head of finely sized mostly lasting white colored bubbles that left behind a poor lacing. The body contained very soft carbonation, was transparent and yellow in color. Its aroma contained notes of malt hops and was very mild. Its mouth feel is initially tingly with a smooth palate and a hop finish. Its flavor contained grass pilsnerish malty hoppy notes. A slightly below average brew. Monday, September 6, 2004
hotstuff	2.3 Terre Haute Champagne Velvet Draft at BW3 Downtown Indy. Small white head that was creamy and smooth with fine size bubbles that mostly diminished. Very little carbonation, transparent and a yellow hue. Aroma was malt, light hops, sweet, and corn. Flavor was malty and some hops with an unpleasant lingering aftertaste. Excellent lacing. Saturday, September 4, 2004
Drew	3.2 Terre Haute Cvar This was my favorite beer of my visit to the tap room. Sparkling gold, streams of carbonation rising up to a short white head. FLoral and spicy in the nose. Body is thin yet bright; pale malt flavors, and a very spicy saaz finish that totally dries out. They used a generous amount of hops in this and no adjuncts as far as I could tell. Tuesday, July 20, 2004
Drew	3.2 Terre Haute Gold Label Bock Brown/red, clearer body, with medium head and good lacing. Smells sweet with a hint of alcohol. Starts with some fizzyness in the body, then smoothing out into a thick bready sweet, very malty body. Luckilly hops show up at the end to add balance and provide a dry finish. Tuesday, July 20, 2004
Drew	2.8 Terre Haute Velvet Amber Deep copper and clear - this looks very tasty. Caramel sweet and lightly toasty with a burnt and hoppy finish. Tuesday, July 20, 2004
Drew	2.6 Terre Haute Champagne Velvet On tap at the tap room. Light yellow body, some lacing, no head. Body was thin with sweet malts (corn for sure here). Finish was nice - light pepper and dry. Tuesday, July 20, 2004
