The color was the darkest of the group, but not in a bad way.

The almond butter did stick to the roof of my mouth a bit, but it wasn’t unpalatable.

The almond butter was rich and velvety smooth, with a nice almond taste that wasn’t overpowering.

It was slightly sweet but balanced with some saltiness.
