Default "Blue Fruit" tomato variety

Any of you avid tomato gardeners ever grow "Blue Fruit" tomato variety? I've seen several vendors list this variety as indeterminate and semi-determinate and also determinate? I love the "black" varieties for our south FL growing season. Have you experienced growing this variety? If so, let me know how it grows and also production and taste. Thanks as always for any information.

Yes,I've grown it and will never grow it again.

I know it better as Blau Fructe,in German,one of the worst tasting ugly varieties I've ever grown

There are plenty of other black varieties IMO that are excellent that you can grow in FL.
