Smallish medium black tomato? [View all]

An acquaintance gave me some tomatoes last year that were the perfect size and tasted great. But she couldn't remember what variety they were. I think it was an indeterminate, but not sure.

I bought a Black Krim plant this year, hoping that was it, but it turns out Black Krim is a huge beefsteak.

The one I'm looking for was of a smallish medium size and the color was what's considered black in tomatoes. Does anyone have any suggestions for a similar tomato variety?
