If you find yourself with a gross oily dark roast, you can mix it with some more reasonably roasted coffee to make a good ice coffee blend. I find the bitter burnt taste, just a little bit, makes a good ice coffee or cold brew.
I only drink cold coffee in the summer, so I use that time to save money buying Japanese grocery store coffee (UCC; they make a HUGE variety). The quality and freshness difference is still there, but nowhere near what it would be for hot coffee.
They vary from pretty decent, to pretty gross. I've had to blend in some dark roast this way a couple times, and was pleasantly surprised by the results a couple times.
