I wanted to like this one more. Dark roasted peanut butter is usually my jam (pun absolutely intended), but this one's giving "talented but directionless". The deep, roasty, toasty notes are there, but they're performing solo when it's not really meant to be a one-note show. To put it plainly - it needs more salt. It's like they got halfway through the recipe and forgot the supporting cast.
The texture is giving "wannabe diva" - needs frequent mixing to keep it together. The peanuts themselves are giving "fresh-faced understudy" - they don't taste like they've been forgotten in the back of the pantry. But without enough salt to amplify the flavours, it's just... there. A perfectly fine performer that never quite gets its moment to shine.
A sprinkle of salt would probably bump this up a little, but I'm reviewing what's in the jar, not what could have been.
