I used to hate dark roast until a burnt batch in Ohio changed my mind

Thursday last week I pulled a Sumatra batch off the roaster 2 minutes late by accident, panicked and thought I ruined $18 of beans. Let it rest for 3 days anyway, and it tasted like chocolate and caramel with zero bitterness, I was floored. For 6 years I swore dark roast was just burnt dirt, turns out my old grinder at setting 7 was the real problem. Bought a used hand grinder for $40 and dialed to setting 12, now that same dark roast is my daily cup. Anyone else had a happy accident that flipped their opinion on a roast level? What beans did it happen with?
