Soft Landings

Tap to rate

Soft Landings is a smooth, dark Breakfast Stout whose coffee and oats, combined with dark malts, bring the morning aromas of fresh-brewed coffee, chocolate and toast. The coffee comes from Brazilian espresso beans. The body is soft with a touch of sweetness, balanced by the deep, characteristic malts, which the brewery sums up as all those breakfast vibes.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and full-bodied, with coffee and chocolate leading throughout the mid-palate. Oats contribute a gentle creaminess and textural smoothness, while deep, characteristic malts provide structure and subtle sweetness. The 35 IBUs offer restrained bitterness that balances rather than dominates, allowing the breakfast-like malt profile to remain central.
