Black Sheep Riggwelter Yorkshire Ale

I've never heard of Yorkshire Ale but I picked this up thinking it would be just be a darker ale. Little did I know it would be so bitter and hard to drink that I couldn't finish the whole thing. Sometimes, it's hard to judge a beer by the first few sips, but half a glass later, I still couldn't get past the burnt and bitter taste to enjoy it. I'm guessing this is an acquired taste, but I could not see myself trying to acquire the taste for it.
