I've got a 9.5 % abv stout with the same unsettling flavor. Everything else about the bier is great. The smell, the creamy full mouthfeel etc, But that aftertaste is not nice.
I brewed on 10 Dec 2016. Bottled on 14 Jan 2017, I too used 50g whole organic espresso beans, 3 days into primary. It was my first time adding something after it's in the fermenter. So I baked the beans at around 200*C in the oven for 10 minutes. I didn't want to add any wild yeast or bacteria and ruin the Bier. Maybe I've inadvertently ruined ... well it's not ruined, but it takes a little getting use to, by the 3 bottle, one barely notices LOL, but maybe by baking the beans I added some extra acids that taste metallic.
Water from a special fountain in Switzerland. I used it for my very first bier (a Cooper's stout kit with mods) and it was delightful, everyone loved it.
