How does the taste / smell of coffee change over time?

minimum dose size?

I use the Hario switch to brew my coffee and am trying to reduce my caffeine consumption. Hence I would like to brew smaller cups of coffee. I am currently using 10g of coffee with 160g of water. (1:16 Ratio) I am wondering if there is a minimum amount of coffee...

How does the taste / smell of coffee change over time?

I got gifted a 1 kilo bag of arabica coffee (whole beans), "medium lightly roasted for pour over / percolator". I use a french press, so that fits.

The taste is described as "mild and spicy" (in German, I hope I translated that correctly).

I drank it some months ago at the place from the person who gifted it me. And it tasted really good.

Now those particular (sealed) bags taste pretty "burned".

I believe that it also smelled much more like chocolate, when I smelled it at the persons place some months ago.

They say "best before" around November 2023. I don't know if they use the maximum (in Germany 2 years for coffee) or if they just say idk like "1 year" or something. But it's not fresh, that's for sure. There is no roast date (I can call them the next days and ask them) but it has to be at least 4 months old (if they would use 1 year) or up to 1 year 4 months (if they max out).

As a coffee enthusiast, I have never let the coffee sit on the kitchen shelf for that long and now I am wondering:

Might it be just poor quality (maybe a burned batch), or how does (a medium light roasted arabica) coffee change its taste over time?
