Your description of it is right on ... it's definitely an acquired taste. (As I've discussed before, we have a disproportionate number of Iranian/Persian restaurants around here, so I've had the stuff. But not twice.("Vomit" is another less-attractive descriptor ... )
Thinking about it, since I only tried it once, it's possible that mine went bad too. But I don't think so. The server in the restaurant tried to talk me out of it, warning that only Iranians like it. I guess I should have listened, but this challenge just made me want to try it all the more.
It wasn't totally un-palatable - I kept it and drank about half of it with my meal, to Mary's horror. But I've done <i>doogh</i> now, and don't need to do it again.

The first question I got from the guy at the checkout counter was, "Have you had that before?" Like you, I only took that as a bit more of a challenge. I think that's probably the last time for me as well.

Bob Ross wrote:doogh should be very smooth -- if it looks like vomit, it needs more blending.

How about all the varieties of soured milk -- German and Scandinavian, for example?

There's a similar Turkish "aged yogurt" drink that isn't carbonated -- I'm drawing a blank on the name just now --
