Suggestions for a brown beefsteak tomato

gardenmermaid · October 9, 2016

Hello all,
Years ago, the first year I had a real garden, a friend and I bought heirloom tomatoes from some guy who was selling plants out of the back of a truck, who I have not seen again. Anyway, there was one that we lost the tag from that was the real standout. We only remembered that it was labeled as a black tomato. It was a fairly big beefsteak, super productive, meaty, and a reddish brown color. It was a solid color on the outside, no green shoulder, and I don't remember if there was any color variation on the inside. The color was not like any of the ’blacks' I have grown since. Definitely more of a brown –red. When sliced horizontally the seeds were in thin lines mostly around the outer area.
If this sounds familiar to anyone, I would love suggestions of varieties to grow out to try to find this one again. Thank you!
