I'm not the one who could answer this question, since I myself have never used this as a description. But that is a good question. I often wonder how one would know what ass tasted like. But then again, maybe I don't want to know.

But on a serious note, I'd be interested to hear more about using standards to identifying flavors. I found that wheel very interesting and useful.
