Was this coffee that was roasted and then aged for that long? That doesn't sound good. I have gotten some nice aged coffees, an aged Sumatra and a monsooned Malabar (they age it in a warehouse open to the monsoon wind and moisture). But these were aged while green and I roasted them fresh. I wonder if what you got was something more like that, aged green and then roasted after aging?

A dark roast that is aged would taste bland. Usually darker roast = faster degradation.

  A good dark roast is often oily, so they tend to go rancid in a span of months unless hermetically sealed
