My first beer I brewed was true brew nut brown ale kit. It was in fermenter for two weeks then bottles for two weeks now tried one cold and it is sweet and has a metallic finish it is drinkable so neither of-those two taste are so strong it is undrinkable. For first three days of fermentation I had beer in water bath at 68-70 degrees. What is the most likely thing I did wrong? .
 
being FAR too impatient.

if you aren't using secondary/clearing:
4 weeks minimum primary but probably better at 6 or 8 weeks
bottle
condition for 2 - 3 weeks for full carbing and elimination of priming sugar sweetness
age for 4 - 8 weeks for blending and settling of flavor as well as full yeast settling
