Irish stout, oats and cheddar cheese sourdough

Toast

Decided to make my first adventurous sourdough an Irish one and also wanted to bring porridge into it as i haven't tried that yet. So i settled with a strong cheddar + stout/oat soaker. I was thinking the stout soaker would be a good idea as the oats would soak up the stout/alcohol and wouldnt effect my bulk dough performance as much to try make the results a bit more predictable. 

 

My last 2 bakes have been Tartine country bread so i loosely based this recipe and process off that.
