By aggressive, keep the glass flat, tip beer, let it slosh around and wait for things to even back out.
I still don't do it because generally when I am pouring a beer, I want it now, but, the theory is sound. Bigger head, more CO2 stays in the beer.

Interesting. I was going to post about hop slayer ipa. It would fizz out the bottle as i removed the cap, and even my best pours look like the orval one on this page. Tasty though, just have to be patient. Sigh!
