Canned Youngs Double Chocolate Stout

When I was last at Beers of the World, I thought to pick up a can of the Youngs Double Chocolate Stout over the bottled version which, of course, used to be at the LCBO. Even though I have enormous snob issues with the new policy of canned over bottled, as well as fond memories of the bottled chocolate stout, I have to admit that the canned version was superior, and one that the LCBO should attempt to bring in as a flagship beer if they want to float canned beer as a viable possibility to us beer snobs. It was almost identical to draught Double Chocolate - rich, creamy, fresh and enormously flavourful. Certainly the best canned beer I've had in a long time, possibly ever.

Is it a nitro-widget can or a normal one?

Nitro, hence the creaminess absent in the bottled version.
