Alright, so I have a sherry-like flavor in a brew that is 2 weeks in the fermenter.
US-05 pitched at 75F (could not get it colder, was 100F out).
Irish Red Ale
Extract
The fermentation was done when I checked it 3 days later. I took a taste (2 weeks since pitching) and it has a strong sharp sherry flavor. The aroma is spot on.
I was brewing is a new location with new water. The wort for aerated well before pitching, sanitation was kept up to par (been doing this for a couple years), and the fermenter has not been moved since pitching so no chance of oxidation after fermentation.

edit: checked it with another brewer, I think I was just looking for off-flavors. Seems it is just strong in the alcohol flavor, is young. I am used to all grain which gives me a different flavor at this point.
