JMFG (1140), Florida, USA May 6, 2008 Courtesy SoLan. Almost black pour, loose white head. Light toasty aroma. Mild caramel tastes, clean lager finish. A hint more sweetness than most dunkels.

Info: 330ml bottle, 20/8-2008 dlovell2 (110), Columbia, Maryland, USA Aug 16, 2008 Dark brown color. Tan head that quickly disappeared. Brown sugar and Malt Aroma. Roasted chocolate taste. Slight hops taste at end but not a sharp finish. Smooth finish. CamdenD (570), Madrid, Spain Aug 11, 2008 This one is unfortunate. Alhambra’s reserva is a decent beer from a beer-poor country. This one fits better into the recent of Spain’s beer puke. Bland and whatever taste there is gets overwhelmed by its container. Buy in a can = tastes like aluminum; buy in a bottle = tastes like glass. Yes. Glass.
