I bottled up my Russian Imperial Stout about a week ago keeping it in my basement at 64.4 ambient temp thought I would try a bottle of it today to see how it is going. Alas foam foam foam sigh...I am hoping I did not overprime my beer I put 4.1 oz of dextrose in at bottling. Not sure if I overprimed or if it just needs more time to settle. Any ideas?

Way, way, way too soon. Leave it alone for the next 6 months. Start on your next brew...

I'd bet it just needs more time. The Co2 hasn't had time to "penetrate" the beer. After bottle conditioning, a few days in the fridge really helps as well.

Yep.
An RIS will take much longer to properly carb than the beer shown in the video.
