I've frozen brie for as long as a year in my deep-freeze (a 1 lb wheel for 
$6), with no readily apparent loss of quality. The only cheese I noticed a 
big difference with after freezing was a smoked gouda. It turned into 
something like crumbly pencil erasers (rubbery, yet brittle). It tasted 
great, it just had a really REALLY weird texture.

If your friend doesn't finish it off? They're a complete saint.
