221)  Home:  Double Dead Guy by Rogue Brewing of Oregon, U.S.A.:  *1/2;  here again I was able to have a show-down and I found this to be a bit darker than Dead Guy, though the nose was similar - soft and fruity, though perhaps a bit muted in the Double version;  the alcohol (9%) is very present and adds rather unpleasant, harsh bitter notes;  overall the Dead Guy has a nicer "mouth feel";  I wonder if Double Dead Guy is an example of a "stunt beer";  I'm not entirely certain it needs to exist and I don't know that it adds much by its existence;  I will be able to say for sure if I come across another one;
