If you want dark and strong, I've tried these beans and can recommend them. They will wake you up for sure. (this company tends to focus on darker, stronger roasts) Mahogany roast jampit hit is also good.

What ratios are you using in the percolator? I'm not so familiar with how they work but in an espresso machine, it's usually around 2:1 water to coffee.
