Ianto, who had waited until he'd gotten a reaction from Sulu about the drink, let himself relax enough to take a few swallows of his own. And alright, maybe he drank that bit down a little faster than he normally would have, but really, anything that he could take to make himself stop looking like a fool was worth forgoing the savoring of the flavors.
"I'm glad," Ianto said, "that I don't have to hang up my hat as a successful entertainer, and instead can add 'has good eye for ales' onto my list of attributes, then." He smiled at Sulu over his glass, before taking another couple swallows, the bitterness of the dark ale familiar and not unlike that of coffee, which was perhaps the reason he ordered brews like this in the first place, because he liked to stick to what he was familiar with.
