Do old goats have bad tasting milk??

That is my question. I have an old Sannen (probably at least 10 years old, judging by her teeth). Is it likely that her milk could be nasty because she is old? I once read that up to four years old is prime for a milk goat.

I've never heard that a goat's milk could be bad simply because she was old. Several friends of mine have milked 8,9, and 10 year old goats with no problems with taste whatsoever.
