There's a common SNP variation for that. If you have it, you're particularly sensitive to bitter tastes while young, but that sensitivity turns to unsensitivity when you get older. All of a sudden, bitter things start to taste ok. I like Brussel Sprouts now.
I used to like the sweet drinks too, particularly port. Still do, but the harder stuff tastes better now.
My dad still doesn't like brussel sprouts at my age + 30ish years. He does drink coffee though, but doesn't much like olives.
I await the day that things that don't taste nice suddenly start to taste nice!
