What does scorched wort taste like?

I just did my first batch on a campchef propane burner http://cascadeclimbers.com/gear/hiking/product/Camp-Chef-Yukon-Stove.html
Problem is that in the during the boil it never crossed my mind that I didn't have to have the burner on high the whole time. Towards the end of the boil when stirring I could feel some gritty harder bits in the bottom of the pot, I assume to be scorched sugars.

Question is: What type of flavor am I going to be looking for to know if this is what happened, and what other ill effects other than off flavors can I expect this to have caused?

It usually tastes like ashy burnt sugar. But if you racked the beer out of the kettle and there wasn't a big black spot in the bottom of the kettle then you have no worries.
