6° is the precocious, cherry-flavoured younger brother of our perennial favorite, 8°. Like its older brother, it is a rich, dark brew that is briefly kettle soured for a crisp finish and fermented with a special yeast from West Flanders that imparts a distinct plum aroma to the beer. Finally, 6° is spike with 400 pounds of Aldergrove-grown Montmorency cherries.
6° is refermented in the bottle, so pour with care to leave the yeast sediment in the bottle.

Dark red-brown color. Pours a tall tan colored head that was very noisy as it collapsed back to a patchy skiff in two minutes. Too dark to see the carbonation level. Left no lacing.
Smells of mild funk with a hint of fresh mint. After a few seconds some cherry came through, followed by a light prune or plum. The cherry grew stronger over a few minutes, with more mint popping in from time to time. There is a light scent of dark roasted malt that showed up late to the game. Swirling the glass kicked up a mild barnyard, then a stronger cherry filled in, then it returned to the dark malt again.
Light sour and cherry, but the malt overwhelms the flavor with a charred and slightly metallic flavor. There is some lightly bitter, dark roasted coffee that shows up later. The tart cherry makes a bit of a rebound. Some odd spice, maybe coriander, fills in a flavor gap that could have better been left unused. The aftertaste is a nice blast of cherry that gets quickly beaten down by the overly roasted (burned) malt.
Lightly fizzy, but not to the level of tongue tingling. Quickly grows to a coarse foam and then larger bubbles. Heavy body. Just a hint of astringency.
Swing and a miss. The malt in the dubbel base is very over-roasted and had made it to a metallic char. The cherry has a lighter touch than most actual Belgian lambics, which would have been very nice if it hadn't been overwhelmed by the malt.
This could be either a dubbel with fruit or a fruit lambic. I'm leaning more to lambic due to the traditional cherry. Feel free to correct me.
