I have an Extract brew that has a bitter burnt taste. I have now let it mature at room temp for almost a year and it is still undrinkable to me. What do you think did this? It is a Cream Ale.

Maybe you didn't stir the wort well enough when brewing and it got burned on the bottom of the pot?
edit* damn, too slow.

So you bottle conditioned it for a year??? Wow....
If it's been in the bottle for a year and taste scorched, more than likely the extract went straight to the bottom of the kettle and some of it got burned...it happens quite a lot, that's why it is a good idea to remove the pot from the burner when adding any extract and to keep stirring when adding.
