Oh god. That was a blast from, er, about 25 years ago. We lived across
the road from a dairy- specifically a goat dairy. I drank goat milk for
years. But we didn't let it sit out- ever. It would get that funny
'goaty' smell/taste if it got warm. Straight out of the goat wasn't too
bad though- I used to help milk occasionally- their oldest son was my
age and he did all the milking- I would go work just so I could hang out
with him (yes, I'm hopeless).

Of course about any milk from a glass jar tastes better than those
infernal plastic jugs.
