No, you can hear the t on the end of Albert. Heh, Albird. Although, if I say it more conversationally, "Oh Albert did blah blah," it would definitely be harder for a non-native to pick up on. But instead of Albird, it drops more to "Alber." The "t" is still there, but juuuuust barely. But that's also because the emphasis is gonna be heavy on the Al.
There's a really interesting essay on this sort of thing in the beginning of Stephen Fry's "The Ode Less Traveled."
