    Bitter usually means burnt. Either you've burnt the roux, or the drippings from the roast are burnt from the bottom of the pan.

    my mom always adds a little bit of brown sugar to her gravy when she makes it from scratch. Maybe that would help?

    Simmer longer... it means your not cooking the roux ((butter flour mix)) enough..
