I suppose this fat gain will happen to anyone on a bulking program at some point in time.
Yes. It's pretty much impossible for everyone except for rank beginners, "enhanced" trainees, and people with ridiculous genetics to add a good amount of muscle without gaining some fat. It happens to all of us, to some extent.

Switch up your program if you want or eat slightly less, but don't expect to suddenly put start putting on tons of lean muscle without any fat--some fat gain will usually come, no matter how hard you train, ect.

Also, are your lift numbers going up? If you are able to keep adding more weight or get more reps every workout, it's probably safe to say that you are still adding muscle.
