Contreras Valeir Donker is a Belgian dark ale from family brewers Contreras. The brewery was originally a side project on the Contreras farm, but as the popularity of their beers grew, brewing became more and more central to the families livelihood. Contreras Valeir Donker is a dark, nutty brown ale, bottle conditioned for a deep flavour and natural carbonation.
Pouring a chestnut brown colour, Contreras Valeir Donker offers up aromas of roasted malts and a hint of cocoa. Flavours of caramel and fruit mingle with bitter flavours from the Hallertau and Saaz hops. The flavour is far more intense than expected for a 6.5% ABV beer, yet Contreras Valeir Donker is a supremely drinkable ale. Buy Contreras Valeir Donker for a rich, malty brown ale from Belgian family brewers Contreras.

Excellent balance to this donker, good flavor without overwhelming.
One of my top beers from BoE so far.

Not too heavy. Properly dark. Nice but just one of many
Mark Charrington –
In my glass dark brown good tan head Has big sugars as the main aroma with some ripe dark fruit my taste buds enjoy sweet toffee malts all balanced with a liquorice bitterness Tastes like a well made rich old ale rather than a brown ale
