Rye Oats and Beer. Whats not to love

Wanted to try something new.My mom had gotten a beer that she didn't like so we had 3 bottles that weren't going to be drank. I thought, why not soak some oats in it. The beer was River Horse oatmeal milk stout

I combined equal parts beer and oats and let it sit over night while my levain came up to peak leavening power. I mixed 200 grams each AP and rye flour. Next was 135 grams of 80% levain and 275 grams of that soaker. 280 grams of 88 degree water. Autolyse for an hour and mix in 10 grams of salt. 3 stretch and folds every half hour or so. Let 8t rise four 5 hours and then shaped and rolled in oats. Proofed in the fridge over night. 15 mins with steam at 475. Then 20 at 425 without steam. 

I haven't cut into it yet but it smells marvelous
