Retrievers tend to be prone to yeast and fungal infections in their ears. This is due to their ears being long and covering their ear canal. It creates a warm moist environment. Our vet gives us preventative drops. We put a few drops in a couple of days a week, and he does fine.

Why does golden retrievers ears smell?
Well, if they stink, then there is probably an infection, either yeast or bacterial. If there is brown sticky like stuff in there, then there is definitely an infection. The most common ear infections are yeast infections. The best thing to do is see a vet, let them diagnose the problem, flush out the ears, and get you medication. I recommend this first and foremost, however, you can get a mild ear cleaner and clean the ears yourself. For yeast infections, I swear by the over the counter vaginal yeast infection medications. It is the same type stuff your vet will give you for an ear yeast infection, however, it does not take care of bacteria if it is present. One other thing you need to consider is ear mites.
