I've brewed about 8 batches, and all have a metallic flavor.
Here's a few recipes I've used and had metallic taste on it. The darker the beer, the more pronounced the metallic flavor. The worst was the Pumpkin.

I brew all grain, 3 gallon batches. I originally used the brew in a bag-stovetop technique. I've graduated to a five gallon rubbermaid cooler (the kind you see at kids soccer practice) as my HLT. I mash and batch sparge in the cooler. I boil in a 5.2 gallon stainless steel pot. I ferment in a 5 gallon food grade bucket, with my Ale Pail (all came from my original starter kit), and sometimes secondary in a better bottle. I use Iodophor to sanitize.
All my batches, the brew in a bag and the HLT AG ones, have had a metallic off flavor--some worse than others. The only constant is the brew pot, but it's stainless steel.
Any ideas HBT??? Thanks!
