I got these "beer stones" as a gift earlier this week. I had never heard of them and frankly didn't expect them to work. But to my pleasant surprise, they really do alter the way the carbonation releases in the beer glass.
The bubbles are smaller, resulting in a smoother, creamier, longer lasting head. It makes normal carbonation release more like nitrogen.
But the downside is that it makes the beer a bit flatter a bit faster.
But for darker styles like porters and stouts, I think it's preferable. And the frozen stones also act as little ice cubes to keep the beer a little colder, little longer.
