Head retention on beer

Any recomondations for keeping a good head on ales, such as stouts, dark ale, draught? I tried licorace extract in my stout and an additive called big head. The stout tastes great but the head disapears.

I have just brewed a Cascade Spicy ghost, when I went to bottle it, It had a bit of a sulphur smell to it. Any suggestions?

Strong cider

I have just bottled some brigalows Cider.
I used 1.25 kg sugar and 1kg cored apples, OG 1056 FG 0994, I think this makes it roughly 8.5%
Any tips on how long before I can drink the stuff or should I just run the car on it?

I was aiming for about 5.5% alcohol any tips on where I went wrong?
