About this beer

Lapwing Sketchbook is a Scotch Ale aged in Bourbon barrels, weighing in at 10.4% ABV. This robust ale showcases a complex flavor profile derived from the original Scotch Ale base, significantly amplified by its time spent maturing in bourbon barrels. The label details a process focused on utilizing spent bourbon barrels from women-owned distilleries, adding a unique element to the ingredient story. Expect notes of rich caramel, toffee, and dark fruit underpinned by a warming, subtle spiciness imparted by the Scotch Ale yeast, all smoothed by the influence of the bourbon.

The label art prominently features a detailed, sketchy illustration of a Lapwing bird amidst dark, feathery foliage, all framed within a circular design of stylized text. The color palette is muted, focusing on shades of black, green, and cream, lending a sophisticated, almost vintage feel. It’s brewed and packaged by Sketchbook Brewing Company in Skokie, Illinois.
