Howdy,
Just sampled my first effort: Brewer's Best English Brown Ale. Used the dry yeast. 3 weeks in the primary and 2+ weeks in the bottle. I bottled it into Grolsch swingtops. Satisfying "pop" when I opened it complete with the fog that always appears in the neck of the bottle. Nice, thick head. Tastes pretty good. I can tell it will improve with time. There's a bit of a raw alcohol taste and another taste that's a bit...oniony?
Anyway, got kudos from me esposa. Love the forum. Wouldn't have had anywhere near even this much patience without reading 1000 "give it time" threads.

Patience and low stress is the key to any great beer. Nice work.
