Malt beer bread, inspired by this recipe, is always a good idea in mega lock-down. Original recipe calls for root beer, but there was some leftover malt beer that needs to be used up. Hence the tweak of the recipe. Dark stout would be great for the recipe too. Malt beer and dark rye enhance the nutrition, flavour, texture and colour to this simple loaf while the molasses adds some mild pleasant sweetness.
