On two videos of yours Ive seen (both showing the beautiful cascade effect), I notice you are dispensing straight into the bottom of your glass. You will get much better results by tilting your glass at a roughly 45 degree angle, so that the beer glides into the glass more gently. With little turbulence in the beer, the CO2 and Nitrogen will tend to remain in sollution instead of foaming.

By the way, is that chocolate stout homebrewed or commercial? It looks great!

It's a homebrewed Double Chocolate Raspberry Stout, good enough to take a first place in a regional homebrew contest. Just had some tonight. :)

FYI Nitrogen does not give beer the head, it only pushes it out of the barrell. you need co2 for head . try a mixed gas. 25% co2 75% nitrogen

[kubadiver]

Well, yes, technically this is beergas. 30% CO2, 70% nitrogen. It's at 25lbs pressure in the keg to force the nitrogen into suspension in the beer. When you pour it, nitrogen does form a head. This nitrogen head forms smaller bubbles and gives a creamy mouthfeel. It also lasts a bit longer, since the partial pressure of nitrogen in normal air is at equilibrium (there is about 70% nitrogen in the air we breathe). Nitrogen must do something, because you don't get this cascade with only CO2.

Most excellent.
