Description
The Alhambra Brewery was founded in 1925 by Carlos Bouvard, owner of the malt house La Moravia in Barcelona, and Antonio Knörr, from a family with a long beer tradition. Until 1954, this would remain a small brewery with only 20 employees, a subsidiary of the malt house in Barcelona. In that year, the Damm brewery takes a majority stake in the company and the Granada plant begins its steady growth. In 1979 Damm S.A. reorganizes Cervezas Alhambra, and Cruzcampo acquires a minority stake in the company. In 1999, Cervezas Alhambra became, thanks to the purchase of the Cordoban brewer of, among other things, the beer Mezquita, the largest brewer in Andalusia. In 2006 the company was bought by the Grupo Mahou-San Miguel, the largest beer company in Spain, of which it is still part today.

bottle - Pours dark brown with a head. The aroma is mild caramel malts. The flavor is sweet caramel and maybe a little dark fruit. The body is thin to medium and the finish reveals a little hops. It’s not bad, though my expectations for dunkels are a little higher.

Can. (assuming this is the same as Adlerbrau, the brewery is the same, and the other ratings makes it look the same.) Clear, a bit pale, golden with a decent off-white head. Malt, grain and fruity notes in the aroma. Malt, grain and some hops in the flavor, which in a strange way is unpleasant. Thin body and a pilsner-like finish. Decent color, that’s it. (070207)

Poured a slightly water black with a whispy white head. Smells of molasses and nuts. The flavor is a little strange considering the appearance. Very alcoholic flavor, almost like it was brewed in the same tanks as tequila. It’s that agave finish that made me throw this beer out. Sorry.

Yuck. Tastes like a regular old swill pale lager, very mild with a light funky sourness that is very off-putting. Cobwebby. The only hints that its a dunkel is a touch of caramel. This really should be called an ’american dark’, not a dunkel. Not even close. Regardless of style, its pretty bad.
