What is the difference between CO2 and nitro beer?

The nitrogen bubbles produce a substantial and long-lasting head and create a smoother and creamier mouth-feel than CO2, especially in stouts and porters. The small bubbles in nitro beer fall downwards as the head forms because the small bubbles are more easily pushed around by currents in the beer, especially in a traditional pint glass.

How do you infuse nitrogen in a keg?
