About

Valeir Donker is a dark specialty ale from Brouwerij Contreras, a Belgian family brewery in Gavere with roots dating back to 1818. This top-fermented beer undergoes bottle and cask conditioning, adding layers of character. The beer opens with chocolate and caramel aromas, complemented by subtle dark fruit notes. On the palate, spicy Belgian yeast character mingles with caramel sweetness and a gentle bitterness. The malt provides a soft, warming foundation. Despite its 6.5% ABV, Valeir Donker drinks smoothly, finishing dry with a lingering aftertaste that balances sweetness and spice.
