It's hard to map the pre-roast aromas of green coffee into any flavor components in the finished result, at least in my experience. The most dramatic example of that is the Cuban Turquino I had a few years back: The fresh green beans had a very distinct aroma of jalapeno peppers. It was so distinct that the lady at the post office commented on it when I mailed out the packages to the folks in the group buy, and everything was in ziploc baggies then. I've never smelled anything like that in any other green coffee I've ever had, yet there was no trace of pepper in the brewed coffee.

Most Colombian coffees can handle a wide variety of roasts, but that doesn't mean you can go black & oily with it and expect it to have any varietal nuance left in the finished cup. If your spouse likes that burnt flavor, buy cheap-o beans for her. Roasted that dark, everything tastes the same.
