No, but some cheeses start to smell of ammonia when they are over-ripe. If the smell is very strong, discard the cheese.

Why does brie smell like ammonia when it is too old?
The protein in Brie cheese is consumed and converted by the culture used to create it. As the process continues, the conversion of the protein to ammonia develops. At colder temperatures, the ammonia is trapped in the cheese and cannot evaporate out as well. Exposing the interior of the loaf will allow some of the ammonia to evaporate off, thus the unpleasant ammonia aroma off a cold loaf. As the interior is exposed to atmosphere and allowed to warm, the latent ammonia will dissipate out of the cheese. As the cheese warms, the conversion process can become more vigorous, especially in the presence of moisture, and the ammonia smell may get stronger after initially dissipating. I've always been able to detect at least a slight ammonia smell from any Brie I eat, no matter the quality or freshness. It is a natural, albeit slightly undesirable quality. It does not mean the cheese has gone bad, just that it is getting past it's ideal ripeness. If the smell of ammonia is strong and the cheese loaf has collapsed, then it is well past it's ideal ripeness and shouldn't be served or most will find it offensive. One way to mask the ammonia smell is to apply fresh ground black pepper to the brie in sufficient quantity but do not overdo it.
Where and how toxic ammonia converted into non toxic ammonia?

How do you know if your blue cheese is rotten?
# # Here are some ways to check: # # # Check the color of the blue cheese. If the white parts are beginning to turn yellowish, or the blue parts are beginning to turn green, don't eat it. If any part of the cheese is a color other than white or blue, it should be discarded. # Smell the blue cheese. If it smells like ammonia, it is beginning to go bad. The smell of blue cheese can become very potent over time, and this is normal. When it begins to smell like ammonia, it shouldn't be eaten. # Take a small bite of the blue cheese. If it tastes like blue cheese, only stronger, it's safe to eat. If the taste seems "off" in any way, it's better to discard the product. # Look for fuzz and mold that wasn't there when the blue cheese was fresh. Any additional growth could be a new, unhealthy bacteria forming on the cheese. # Check for slime. Blue cheese can develop a slimy texture when it begins to go bad. If there is any excess moisture, or if the texture is no longer dry and crumbly, it should be discarded.
