It depends how many microbes are in the milk to begin with and what temperature it has been previously stored at (4 degrees C is best). Once you take it out of the fridge, enzymes such as lipase (involved in fat-breakdown) and protease (protein- breakdown) are active, and bacteria whose optimum temperature is room temperature will begin to multiply. These processees lead to bad smells if left long enough. It is best to keep the milk next to a cold pack in an insulated bag if you are considering storing it un-refrigerated for a period of time.
