I think 1/4 lb of Roasted Barley is a bit heavy handed in this batch and probably would contribute the smoky note and too-dark color.
Roast malt in an Irish Red like this one goes a really long way. I'd suggest cutting it back to only 2 oz if you want to try it again.
Molasses flavor could be a number of things. Did you actually measure the FG or was that what the recipe targeted?
Molasses indicates sweet under-attenuated beer to me, but if its at 1.010, I'm not sure, other than the roast barley again overstating itself.
