Fermenting at a warmer temp is going to cause the yeast to ferment more vigorously, and when they do so, they throw off more esters (yeasty flavors). This is actually desired in most Belgian styles, and wheat/wit beers. Not particularly desired in a stout, however. They also can make more fusel alcohols, which can make the beer hot and boozy.
Get it cool asap, but as stated above, most yeast flavor develops in the early, most active stages of fermentation, so it's probably too late. When its done, taste it, and if it's not to your liking, don't dump it, just keep aging it at room temperature. The warmer it is up to a point, the faster it will age, so a warm room (upper 70's) is best. Eventually, even it's damn near un-drinkable, it is possible for it to age out over time.
