Monsooned Malabar dark roast?

Hello,

I ordered the India Monsooned Malabar from Caffe Fausto and now played around with the grind on my Jura C9... Only on the finest level I taste the good... But the finest level is actually for light roasts... Isn't the above bean more of a dark roast? How can I tell the difference? Simply from "looking at it"? At a coarser grinding degree, the coffee tastes too sweet to me? Bitter? Somehow so...

I personally don't find the Malabar so really delicious from the VA... I don't think the grind setting after light/dark roasting makes much sense, with coarse grind each coffee runs through too fast and tastes sour or too bitter. I always adjusted the Jura grinder relatively finely to get the maximum aroma out of the beans. This is only possible by manual preparation (sieve carrier machine), but with fresh, finely ground beans you can make very good coffee in the Jura.
Try Fausto's Monaco, which is firstly less "bitchy" and secondly unbeatably chocolaty.
I would only differentiate between espresso roasts or coffee crema roasts for roasts, I find Faustos descriptions very helpful.
