6 weeks isn't too long.

Not too long. Proceed as normal.
Maybe a year or more might be too long but certainly not 6 weeks.
Bottle then 3 weeks at about 70° then a few days in the fridge.

Was that a year in the fermenter? Or beer that is a year since bottling? |

If it still looks and smells like beer, bottle it!

My last one was in primary for 5 weeks and the bottling sample was great. With healthy yeast there isn't much concern for longer primary fermentation.

Last week I bottled up an Imperial Stout. That thing sat on the yeast for 2 months. It tasted great at bottling and will taste amazing in December once it's been in the bottles for 6 months. Your beer will be fine.
