Bell's Hell Hath No Fury
Originally conceived along the lines of a Belgian Dubbel, Hell Hath No Fury... Ale morphed during development into something entirely different. Blending a pair of Belgian abbey-style yeasts into a recipe more akin to a roasty stout, Hell Hath No Fury... Ale offers up warm, roasted notes of coffee & dark chocolate together with the fruity & clove-like aromas.

Hell Hath No Fury has a thin, beige head, a very dark brown (nearly black) appearance, with brown highlights, at the edges, and no glass lacing. The aroma is of deep, rich, dark-roasted, sweet malt, some licorice, coffee, and chocolate. Taste is of all those elements, with cream and low bitterness. Mouthfeel is high medium and silky, and Hell Hath No Fury finishes medium sweet to dry. RJT
Tap at Pouring Glory. Dark reddish brown color. Ruby highlights. Clear. Tan head. Dark malt, Belgian yeast notes. Sweet aroma. Belgian yeast flavor, fruit, yeast notes. Light roasted malt that edges on roast. Dry finish, light lingering bitter. Low warmth. Roast in inappropriate for style, but an interesting idea to try. Fairly well balanced.
Pours a dark mahogany, thin beige head, sorry if flimsy. Nose is raisin, spice, and roast. Nice spice on the tongue, clove, pepper, caramel, a nice spritz considering the small head. Not bad, not really in love though.... Something's missing.
Bottle, single, bortle.. . Deep brown black .. Solid foam .. Trace w/ Coppa .. Nice mouthfeel, easy solid finish .. . Good stuff .. . . I trade in stolen cheetos
From a bottle. Pours cola brown with a tan head darker than most stouts. Nose is clove and spices like a Belgian but with roasted malts and chocolate on the back end. Taste is malty chocolate with little of the spiciness that was noted. A light mouthfeel and crisp finish. Like what Blacklist was trying to pull off but better.
Bottle. Very dark brown, nearly black, with a big resilient spotty-lacing beige head. Aroma of roast, chocolate, Belgian yeast, clove, smoke, and plum. Tastes roasty, rich, and bittersweet. Smooth medium body. Nicely done.
Bottle. It poured a black color with a tan head. The aroma was of roasted malts, chocolate and dark fruits. The taste was similar to the aroma with more malts, chocolate and dark fruits with a medium body and smooth carbonation. Tasty.
New plastic, plum nose. Black, thin tan head. Tar, prune, twigs. Full body, easy carbonation. Good, but really nothing special. Little Belgian yeast character.
Really good! Thick and chewy like a bock but not too sweet. Lots of coffee flavors and aroma. Perfect for Fall/Winter
Pours a dark black with a big khaki head with decent lacing. Aroma of licorice and some dark fruit. Taste has licorice, prunes and plums, mild chocolate, some phenolic flavor and a hint of umami. Initially has some sweetness but finishes dry with some tannic character. Medium bodied with medium light carbonation.
Bottle from Beers of the world. Aroma of coffee, chocolate and dark fruits.
This was absolutely solid, but I could never drink a second one. Coffee, chocolate, and cherry.
Pours a dark mahogany brown with a thin tan head. Aroma of roasted malts and dark fruit. Taste is mostly roasted malts, some light coffee, and slightly bitter dark chocolate. Smooth with a mild tingling sensation. More similar to a light stout than an Abbey. Semi-sweet roasty aftertaste. Good but not great.
This is awesome. It's got coffee and dark chocolate blended perfectly together with dubbel yeast and fruitiness. It's so good.
Had this on tap as part of a flight at first draft. Black with sticky brown head. Very boozy. Cocoa and vanilla notes. Big
Bell’s Hell Hath No Fury enters some strange territory but it does so with a sense of cohesion. There are a few breweries that have tried pairing darkness with Belgian flavors (Ommegang and Stillwater are the more successful ones that come to mind) but it’s rarely been so well as with Hell Hath No Fury. There’s notes of coffee roast, char, earth, cocoa, cherry, candy, fruit cake, and Belgian spices. Full-bodied but not heavy feel. Not your typical Abbey Dubbel but a rather tasty one.
Draft.
A- Roasty, cocoa, subtle dark fruit.
A- Black color, black liquid, tan head.
T- Roasty, cocoa.
P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, roasty finish.
O- Thought this was a stout when I ordered it. Even tasted like it for the most part. Honestly, pretty unmemorable.
12 ounce bottle from House of Bottles in Marengo, IL, served a bit below cellar temp in a Chouffe tulip. Pours a very dark molasses color, nearly opaque, with a massive light crème brulee head that takes minutes to dissipate, leaving mostly clean glass as it decays...light yeasty nose with touches of toffee, faint grapiness...sweet body offers candy or brown sugar and a growing roasty character, with again fairly light yeast throughout, turning to somewhat bitter, a touch drier (thought still somewhat sweet) and burnt at the finish...milky texture to the mouthfeel, strong-ish, lively carbonation. As the description says, it’s more like a stout than a dubbel I think. Pretty decent overall.
Inky, with khaki head. Nice semi-sweet raisiny, leathery, peaty aroma. Dark fruit, raisins, dates, a bit dusty, mildly acidic but buffered, some smoky notes, maybe some cocoa. Creamy mouthfeel. A little creosote at the end. Quaffable and quite good. On tap, Gaines Street Pies.
Lovely black pour w/ reddish hues that has a retaining tan head & good lacing. The aroma rich, roasty, & bold. The flavor is a cross of a stout & black ipa. It’s roasty, hoppy, & rather complex. The body is chewy yet still quite drinkable at 7.5%. Tasty & overall a very good beer!
Bottle. Pours a dark brown. Aroma and taste are malts, some spices, and some roast.
Bottle from andersons. Nose is malty and rich. Smooth body for an ale and more like a porter. Well balanced. Starts with smoky cocoa and malt fullness and morphs to bit of nuts and dark sugars and cherry. Pretty good.
Bottle from Market Street Wine Shop, Uptown. Pours deep reddish brown with a small tan head. Smells of black cherry, bubblegum, metal. Taste is light metal, light glue, but nice dark cherry and other dark fruits, clove, earth, wood. Nice.
Pours dark brown with a mocha colored head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee, dark fruit, and a light clove yeastiness. Flavor is roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, dark dried fruit. Finishes with dried plums and Belgian yeast. Really nice!
12oz bottle, poured into a Belgian tulip. The aroma is initially a roasty and chocolate blend with undertones of nuts. coffee comes through eventually, then turns to a fruity, fig and dates tone with a woody spice. It pours a rich, deep mahogany with soft, brown foam that has a great amount of retention and leaves a dense lace. The taste is a medium high sweet and medium low bitter blend. It?s smooth, with foamy, soft carbonation. The texture is like that of a light weight syrup with a medium body. Flavors of chocolate, caramel, and cream soda are noted first with a mild woody spice, nuts, and a bit of mocha. It finishes smooth with cacao, then vanilla, root beer, raisin, spices, a light leather, and some coffee notes tha arise late with a sweet, sugary grape jelly. The aftertaste is smokey and sticky with chocolate and a late molasses and sarsaparilla.
Aroma of smokey malt. Appearance is lifeless dar, with a bit of head. Taste is roasted malt. Smooth. Good.
Tap at Ginger Man, New York. Originally rated 20160212. Colour is dark brown with brownish white head. Aromas and flavours: Grain, some sweetnss, ripe fruits, Belgian yeast and malts. Pretty good for American dubbel.
Stout black pour with brown head. Aroma: slightly roasty with Belgian yeast hints. Flavor: nice combo of sweet stout roast with Belgian dubbel malty slightly boozy character. Herbal yeast notes.
Sample at Bell’s on 1/28/16. Darkest brown pour with a thick tan head. Aroma of malt, banana, clove and roast. Malty flavor with banana, clove and chocolate accents before a roasted malt finish.
Tap - fair size tan foamy head, very dark Amber/almost black color, big malty aroma and flavor, slightly roasty, slightly fruity, fair yeasty spice, creamy finish, really good overall
