Yes it is important to share, my experience is that the threads get better with different input. Even Hv's posts get more detailed.
He has mentioned that licorice is bitter too.
I bought a little bottle of sweetish (not swedish) bitters
from Gaia that Hv mentioned before, don't like it as well
and it is expensive.
I was kind of desperate since I use it at least 3x a day
for my gallstone and I don't want to be without.
I did not find the other kind bitter anymore either, but Hv said in one of his post that was ok since it is still
bitter.
