Aye, maybe. But couldn't it also be interpreted as the taste of iron? I used to suck my angle-iron bunk-bed frame when I was a kid. I remember the bitter taste (which Guinness reminds me of). Also, when I put my car aerial (antenna) down, then should taste my finger-tips, I don't like the metalic taste of that either. Maybe like the taste of blood. I've never encountered enough blood to get a smell off it though.
