I used to think that "black" tomatoes were the best. Now I think GWR are.

Paul Robeson and Arbuznyi are my favorite blacks. I just wish Arbuznyi wasn't so late for me.

I grew Dana's Dusky Rose this year. It was a well formed round tomato without blemishes or cracks. Very nice tasting. Looks like a Brandywine Cowlick's just darker and no cracks. I will be growing this one again.

Paul Robeson is another I love.
Carbon is always early in my garden, usually the first full size black.
I too love the GWRs, I have yet to find one I don't like, at least in the full size. Green Grape was one I did not like.

Having grown just about every "black" tomato listed on this thread and many more, over ??? years, the one I consider to be best tasting is Dana's Dusky Rose.
This past season, I limited my tomato production and the only blacks I grew were Dana's Dusky Rose and Amazon Chocolate.
Pinks were a different story...it was a great year for Brandywines!
Enjoy!
