If it wasn't for the fact that I've had their Noble Collection, I'd have listed this as "5" stars. Really superbly made. Smells like I just walked into a bakery during a cold blistery day. Maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg. Taste follows with that of sweet bread basket, warm right out of the oven. It's good...and a great VFM. If I had to go back and rate the three CRs I've had so far, I'd list Noble Collection as best by far, followed by this, and then the Northern Rye in a distant third. CR is doing everything so right...this isn't your father's era CR, something totally different. And much better.
