The darker the roast, the less sweet and more spicy the bean becomes. Also, the flavor of the bean that comes from the growing region becomes masked by darker roasts. Finally, caffeine is lost as the bean is roasted, so a cup of coffee make with a darker roast actually has less caffeine than one with a lighter roast.

Some dark roasts can be so dark they're nearly burnt. Just shy of burning and you get a sort of carmelized flavor that I love.
One of the cool things about the Gevalia-style coffees (Trader Joe's makes Scandinavian Blend) is that they blend light and dark roast coffees, so you get the sweet and the more full-flavored, as well as more of the caffeine, in one roast. It's different than just a plain medium roast would be!
