Heavy alcohol taste

[Terek]

I made an oat stout with a OG 1.070 after a few days, I pitched some oak chips I soaked in a buddy's moonshine. Just tasted a sample after a week. It's down to 1.015 and has a VERY strong alcohol taste. I didn't realy like that at all. My question is will this tone down over time? I.e. How long? It was less than a cup in the2 oz of chips, and I dumped it all in 5 gal.

Did you give it a stir before you sampled it? It should mellow.
