Maybe there's a lesson to be learned here, like if you're going to store your car for any length of time add stabilizer and fill your tank up with quality gasoline. 🤔
You answered a question that I wanted the OP to answer, and then added unfounded guesses. I have started cars on twenty year old gas with no stabilizer in it, admittedly no corn juice in it. Condensation in the tank is highly improbable with the sealed systems these days.
With no more info I could guess at a plugged exhaust system, but then it would be OK after a while and then repeat. I had ice up the tail pipe once and this happened, nothing kinky though.
