yeah I would suspect you roasted it a bit quick I usually hit first crack about 11 mins.
Dont forget to try this bean about 2.5 hours after roasting IMHO at this point it tastes better than the Yemen Ismali. After 2.5 hours it drops off a bit 3 days after roast the Yemen beats it hands down
The Matari is over rated IMHO. Good to see you are going to try it anyway because what you may think is a roasting disaster just may be something special. Even if it does taste like pig swill, it will help train your taste so you can recognise over or under roasted beans when you get served a nasty coffee @ Dodgy Brothers Café.
Those that brought the Bali Coffee are in for a real treat. ;D
Cheers
