Malört is a bitter liqueur from Chicago with a murky green color and a scent of burnt orange and anise. People describe its taste as a combination of grapefruit, menthol, and other botanicals, and compare it to a variety of things, including bug spray, ear wax, and rubber bands.
“Challenging” may undersell this abomination, it sounds like.

Another ringing endorsement: “Malört is like swallowing a burnt condom filled with gasoline”
I curious as to who the commenter is dating. Or what.
Kahlua is great on ice cream. Alas I can’t drink alcohol anymore. 
Kahlua is a friend of drunk dairy. But that’s not what I was responding to. It was Malört. 
Hard to keep track with multiple conversations!

Edit: “Shake before opening” !? Beerhunter time!
I suppose if another silk scarf from the Art Institute gift shop is getting a little same-ish I can get my wife a bottle of this next time… 
… that might be an anti-survival strategy, but I like to live dangerously sometimes…
What about hákarl ice cream?
Chef Anthony Bourdain described fermented shark (hákarl) as “the single worst, most disgusting and terrible tasting thing” he had ever eaten.
Has a real bite to it.
With the roe, fishy custard.
I carefully adjust my expectations.
Brain: Is that coffee?
Me: No, but it’s a hot drink that has caffeine in it.
Brain: Oh. Ok then.
Years ago, a tech at one of our meetings expressed his pleasure with the flushing force of newly installed toilets in the men’s room. “You could flush an engine block!” I asked him about his diet.
Try jalapeno jelly on your ice cream. Best on vanilla. A genius combo.
