I thought they'd figured that out years ago? Something about the rising
bubbles in the middle of the glass creating an upward current in the beer
which then flows back down around the sides of the glass, carrying some
of the smaller bubbles down with it...?

By the way, I've only seen that effect in Guinness. Is it something that
is only visible in stouts? I'm still newbie level here...
