What is the nutritional value of dark ale?
On an annual visit it with my grandmother we had a conversation about ales. When she was a young girl in Nuremberg her mother would give her every day a half glass of dark ale with an egg on top and some sugar to cut the bitter taste. She told me that this was the equivalent of a multivitamin. Its obvious that the egg has a nutritional value, but what value dose a dark ale contain?
Yeast is a main contributor of B vits in beer but some also come from the barley. Beer has an assortment of vitamins and minerals that may be a slight aid to health. Alcohol itself can also be a health aid. But having just 2 beers a day provides this benefit any more and the opposite begins to occur.*

Some dark beers will contain more but not much more. Also beer contains more of these if it has not been filtered.
Drinking one beer per day may be good for your health because it has been associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Why? Some experts suggest these reasons:
The folate found in beer may help to reduce homocysteine in the blood and lower homocysteine levels mean a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
Lab studies have found constituents in beer that lower triglycerides and LDL-cholesterol in mice.
Drinking one beer per day reduces blood clotting so some studies found that cardiovascular patients who drank one beer per day also lived longer.
Other studies have found that women who consume one beer each day have improved mental health. Drinking beer and other alcoholic beverages in moderation may also improve bone density.
Old time beer and monks. But keep in mind beer is not made the same as it once was and thus is less healthy now.
