Literally, an after-taste refers to a lingering flavor that is still on your tongue even after you've swallowed or spit out something.

Figuratively, an after-taste describes the lingering effects of an encounter or incident. For example, one might say, "our last boss was so untrustworthy that my co-workers and I are still experiencing an after-taste."

An after-taste usually refers to something negative.
