I haven't had my wife try it yet, but if she likes it, I'll let you know.

If you do dip your toes in to lighter, try natural or - if you come across it - anaerobic natural. I haven't done a ton of sampling, but those processes seem, to me, to avoid the acidity that many dark roast drinkers dislike. The caveat is that the natural/anaerobic can have varying degrees of fermented fruit aroma/flavor; I like it, but understand that it's not everyone's cup of tea.
