I've done two batches of beer so far, an IPA and a porter. I just opened the first bottle of the second batch. For both batches, when the beer is first opened and poured, it has a slightly off taste, but after about 5 minutes the taste goes away and the beer tastes fine.

Is that normal?
 
What does it taste like? It could be trub/yeast in suspension. Do you pour it nice and slow and leave a bit n the bottom or do you empty the whole thing quickly?
 
Your beer may be overcarbonated. Is it somewhat thin and sharp/harsh at first? At any rate, at least it's fixable by waiting.
