I meant how dark did you roast it? I have tried it very light and it was more fruity, full of berries and darker into second rolling crack going off like fireworks, that was good too but after 2 weeks the beans went oily looking but still tasted good.

Right on the first snaps of 2nd crack.  No oil yet almost 1week post but lots of choc and... Yes... Strawberry!

Update: double ristretto short black 1 week post is possibly my favourite coffee this year... Anywhere!  It is so smooth and brown sugar sweet now yet so lively and fruity.  How is this possible ?  It's a conundrum in a cup!

It just gets more what I call "Jammy"

Its actually fairly typical of the natural process, where the fermentation of the fruit on the bean leads to the boozy/manure/funky/winey cup characteristics. These are obviously of greater or lesser appeal than choc usually is... much more polarizing.
