About the beer

Letra is a brewery from the Minho region, headquartered in Vila Verde, that uses water from the Minho River as the hallmark of every recipe. The OAK line represents its most ambitious facet: beers that undergo maturation in oak barrels, gaining layers of complexity that time serves to deepen.

The On Oak Dark Ale is a Belgian Strong Dark Ale with 9.5% ABV. The Belgian yeast imparts fruity esters and spicy notes that dialogue with the woody notes acquired during maturation. The result is a dense, warm, and characterful beer — sweet without being heavy, complex without being hermetic. Contains sediment, a sign of natural re-fermentation.

Pairing: By complement, it accompanies roasted game meats, where the woody notes mirror the intensity of the protein. By affinity, it pairs with hard, cured cheeses, whose woody and salty notes find an echo in the beer's profile. By contrast, the sweetness balances the bitterness of high-percentage dark chocolate. For palate cleansing, the moderate carbonation refreshes the palate between bites of smoked charcuterie. Apple pie with cinnamon is the pairing of choice — the cooked fruit and spice mirror the beer's profile through direct affinity.
