potent

/ˈpəʊt(ə)nt/adjective

Having a strong, sharp, or unpleasantly intense taste.

Example sentences

“The aged cheese was so potent that its smell filled the kitchen.”
“He brewed a potent coffee that made everyone wince.”

Most uses mean powerful in effect rather than in taste: potent drugs, a potent argument. The taste sense is a narrow branch.
