So, it looks like Millet's Dakota and Frosty F. House were tied in second place for the earliest ripe fruit. I didn't eat them, but the person that did liked Frosty F. House, except didn't think it was ripe enough—and didn't like Millet's Dakota (which had the largest fruit of them, but only one ripe fruit, while Frosty F. House had three). Gold Dust had ripe fruit with blossom end rot, today (but BER makes fruits ripen faster). My taster didn't like Gold Dust's flavor, and didn't think it tasted like a tomato either. I'll have to let you know what I think when I try it.

I harvested more ripe tomatoes from the same varieties, today, and tasted them.
Frosty F. House was pretty good, and I thought it was ripe enough. On a scale of 1 to 10 for taste, I'd probably give it a 7 or 8.
For Millet's Dakota, on a scale of 1 to 10 for taste, I'd probably give it a 3 or 4.
Gold Dust (another BER fruit) wasn't ripe enough, but it was decent, too. I do agree that it did seem to have a non-tomato flavor, and while it did taste similar to Millet's Dakota, Millet's Dakota tasted more like a tomato to me.
There was no unpleasant aftertaste, but I did taste something that might have been what my taster meant (but it wasn't an issue for me).
On another note, I tasted a ripe Husky Cherry Red F5 from my rugose plant, and it had an astonishing tomatoey flavor (not as sweet as I had expected, but definitely an interesting flavor).
Burpee Sunnybrook Earliana has a ripening fruit (which is already soft), as does I think Orange Minsk (it's slightly orange, but not soft). There's a ripening Oroma fruit with BER.
