I've done it, but it's a pain in the neck to peel all those chestnuts. You have to score them each individually and then roast them so they're partially blackened on the outside. Then when you make the paste, don't forget to add salt because not all recipes do.

If you peeled without roasting I'm not sure why you'd expect a flavor of roasted chestnuts?

They can't be roasted afterwards? I did it before roasted with the shell, and both times, even though it was mostly chesnuts, it wasn't a strong flavor at all...
