Nope, but working tomorrow afternoon / evening but on Saturday (both kegs are currently on tap) I'll scald up a couple of glasses till they are spotless and post a series of photos.
 
Non cold break on left, cold break on right.

Non cold wins by a tad in the head retention department but nothing to get enormously upset about after a 5 minute rest. :icon_cheers:
Edit as you can see in the first photo because I poured #1 first then #2, the head on #1 had sagged a wee bit in the meantime.

Temperature 4 degrees

Palmer can bite his bum


:rolleyes:

edit: on the third photo taken with the door up to show clarity, you can see that at the 2 minute mark they were just about neck and neck.
 
Interesting. I'm not sure i've ever watched a beer for five minutes like that, so i don't think it'll change my practice, which is to not put in all the cold break, but to not be real careful about keeping it out either. Thanks for checking that one out.
