FWIW, I have found the Burton Ale yeast does beat the hell out of the hops. The beers that I have made that were decent using this yeast were mostly rich malty flavours.

The dry hopping in the keg is a good way to go, as you have discovered. However, be careful with it, as I have found pellet particles can get in there and make an astringent taste over time.

I've had a few English Ales turn out under hopped. I used British hops and I suspect the alpha acids might have deteriorated in transit and storage before I got my hands on them.

To rectify the bitterness I got hold of some isomerised hop extract - this stuff http://www.homebrewcentregy.com/isomerised-hop-extract-28ml. Because it doesn't need boiling you can easily tweak the bittering to taste. I use a 0.1 ml pipette with a half pint of beer to work out the amount of extract required.

I see that Charles Faram and Brouwland are now offering post-boil flavour and aroma hops, so you could fix / experiment with the entire hop profile.
