Heh, it is rough stuff. I did notice the sweetness behind the
bitterness in my third sip or so, but the initial bitterness kills all
pleasantness. It is a unique experience for sure, and one I'm not so
eager to do again. I gave some to my father, a bitter fan, and he stuck
a whole spike in his mouth as is... it didn't stay in long but I was
amazed it even possible.

I was only using 2-3 spikes per cup as per the instructions, but I
think I've had enough to know better now. This stuff would have to cure
male pattern baldness, while enhancing manhood by 4-6", while extending
my life by 20 years, while increasing my income by 200% for me to drink
it purely for the health benefits.
