Description
six°north was established in 2013. The concept was born in Belgium when founder Robert Lindsay fell in love with the country’s beer culture and tradition. He soon returned to north east Scotland to start brewing his own beers, six°north of Brussels. We make modern, artisanal beers that are driven by Belgian brewing tradition and inspired by modern brewing practices.

Our beers are unfiltered and carbonated naturally through secondary fermentation. We brew classic Belgian inspired beers, as well as modern, hop-forward styles. We also release a number of collaboration beers each year with other breweries.

Bottle from Tomlinson’s Beer Shop in Inverness. Pours very dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, dark fruit, chocolate and cola. Moderate sweetness, heavier roasted bitterness. Medium/full body, oily texture, average carbonation. Decent without being exceptional.

Bottle. Arcade Beers, Huddersfield. Hazy, orange gold. Slimmest halo of white. Nose has dessert apple skin. Wheat and damp grain. Sawn wood. A little sweaty and fusty. Light notes of white wine vinegar. Taste has an acidic, baked apple thing, where the sweetness ebbs and flows. Crisp, clean and tartly acidic mouthfeel. Finish is tart, lightly acidic, with a sour apple, wheaty close.

Bottle at Salty Horse. Cheers Nick! It pours darkest brown with a decent beige head. The aroma is soft, dried fruits, berry, juicy, vanilla, nougat, toffee, jam and fruit crumble. The taste is smooth, bitter - sweet, spicy, wood, leather, fruit cake, berry, whisky, vanilla, berry skin, plum and some warming alcohol with a dry, woody finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Nice balance and high drinkability. Delicious!
