The mathematician has suggested a new glass for the black stuff.

Why does ordering a pint of Guinness take so long?

William Lee, a professor of Industrial Mathematics at the University of Huddersfield, has discovered that the pint glass causes the nitrogen bubbles to sink instead of rise - increasing the wait time.

Yep, a martini glass! Madness.
