As stated above, lagering will reduce this.

This beer has turned the corner and is tasting a lot better. I have had good luck with beers developing quicker lately for some reason and this just needed more time as suggested.

I kind of half assed bottling for the comp so I hope they are properly carbed with no off flavors because I am curious how it will score.

Sounds like it could be excess polyphenols.  They fall out of solution after awhile.  Did you acidify sparge?
