Hi there, dough tends to ferment a bit faster with the SAF Gold instant yeast, so it may be that your dough ends up being a bit over-fermented by the time you bake it. This might make the bread smell a bit more like alcohol, and this aroma could intensify as the bread loses moisture over the next few days. I would recommend keeping a good eye on your dough as it rises, and perhaps bake the bread a bit earlier, and see if this makes a difference.
