Can definately taste and smell the rhubarb, it's not strong but it is there and sweet.
As an aside my Rhubarb was the green stemmed it doesn't seem to have a strong flavour like the red stuff. Also the first time I've run something through the pot that has come out tasting as I expected :handgestures-thumbupleft: Now what to do with it :think: maybe some french oak.

I would take a much bigger heads cut, just to be on the safe side. With fruit washes I generally keep less than half and I discard the heads due to the methanol. Mine is a mix of green stem and very red stem, will be running it later Ill let you know if I get a difference in taste, the last was all green stem. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
