This stuff was weird to roast.  For starters, the beans were large and a darker shade of green.  The roast time seemed to be fairly long and I roasted into the start of 2nd crack shooting for FC+.  Although I still have some chaff in the cracks, the beans are nearly black, very expanded and some have some chunks missing from them, as if it's closer to a French.  Anyone have any experience with Sumatra?  Is it normal for the beans to have a darker shade?

 I had similar experiences with this bean. I couldn't get mine to 2nd crack in the hot air popper. First batch I did barely made any sound for first crack, just one big pop, then not much else.
