Those are more like your eyes adjusting to brightness/darkness. You're not tricking yourself into thinking the alcohol taste or coffee bitterness are good, you're desensitizing yourself to them, which lets you sense other flavors.

Sometimes there's no other strong flavors so you get "Huh, this cold brew concentrate tastes like water, I didn't even add ice, try it" "wtf that is so bitter!!"
