How dark is Black Cat these days?

Admittedly, it has been a long time since I ordered Intelly's Black Cat, a coffee that I loved years ago but lost favor in recent years.

Baratza Sette - End User Reports

Coffee Hand Grinder for Pepper?

Blue Bottle Coffee 17ft Ceiling poor quality

LOL, the description compares this espresso to power steering fluid. Nothing says tasty like leaking auto lubricants!
