A "Dusty" aftertaste in my beer

I have recently made a batch of pale ale malt and willamette SmaSh, I used a BIAB setup and "no chill"-ed it in a cube over night.

I'm overall pleased with the final prodect, however it has a distinct aftertaste I can only describe as "dusty".

It should be noted that I could not squeeze the air completelty out of my cube,

I left the beer in primery for about a week after fermantation was done(I wasn't sure), fermentaition temprature wast completely stable and propebly neared 30C at times,

Also the beer has developed a "chill haze".

While all of those are problems I intend to fix in my next batch I'm wondering if there is a direct cuse for this specific aftertaste that I should target first?

Here is my recipe:

I chased a similar off flavor for years before I finally concluded it was coming from the US-05 yeast I was using. I'm not sure everyone can taste it, but it was very offensive to me. Dusty was the exact word I used to describe it. It was strongest in the finish of the first sip, and it grew weaker as I continued to drink. It wasn't every batch I brewed with US-05, maybe one out of every four.

There was a window where I used WLP090 instead, and I never got the off flavor then. I switched to Mangrove Jack's M36 about a year ago and haven't had the off flavor since. I tried everything I could think of, but it only went away when I switched to a different yeast.

That said, I see you used Nottingham. I have never used that strain so I can't say from personal experience that it would be the culprit here. I have also never heard of anyone else having this problem with US-05. So all I have is one anecdote to offer.

The only defect flavor I could relate to "Dusty" would be from oxidation. Most recognize it more as a wet cardboard flavor but I too have experienced it as a something more similar to opening an old dusty book if you were to translate a smell to a taste.
