Doesn’t look like the picture - it’s smooth/pasty, dark red/brown. Mostly umani, little salty. Not sweet, no spicy. I don’t think there’s any chili oil - doesn’t seem to separate like oil sauces do… then again, it might not stay on the plate long enough to separate even if it was going to!
Are the beans black in colour? Is the flavour very salty, very umami, and is the sauce soaked in chili oil or not?
Another way of asking: does it look like this?

There are many types of bean paste. I use both black and red for various recipes.
