Merely incorporating butter and flour does not a roux make. You have to cook it after that to get rid of the raw taste of the flour. If you have ever made a white sauce that tasted of raw flour, this is because you didn't cook the roux long enough.

Also, there are a couple more accepted stages of roux, the darkest being "brick." This is as dark as roux gets before it ceases being roux, and is just black glop. :) You'll find it in Cajun cooking, for instance.
