"Imagine the smell of a feed store. That's how this tastes."

And he's right, I think to myself after I've poured a bit down my throat and gotten over the retching. It starts with a fairly strong scent of corn. Taste of corn, machine oil, faintly minty, or is that the acetone? Long, earthy and bready aftertaste, but there's something a bit off about that too. Mouth feel is light and thin, like spring water over corroded metal.

In other words, I still think the still is awesome, but cutting out more of the heads and tails and maybe some charcoal filtration would go some way towards improved drinkability.
