May be luck of the draw. Have never had that problem . Baked a brie en croute this weekend and it was fine.

I've had the ammonia smell happen several times. It usually happens when I buy too big of a piece at Costco and the ammonia smell happens as it gets older. It's always fine, and smells good, when I open it, but over time, it goes bad. I, myself, never will eat it once it gets the ammonia smell. I can't imagine that that could be healthy.

I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

The goat can get funky for sure. Could be a combo of goat and age but goat is stinkier than cow on day 1.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

It is not just brie that does this, but also other "bloomy" soft ripened cheeses. If they are stored in a wrapping that does not let them breath, the ammonia making process accelerates till the cheese is unedible. I had a couple of fine US artisanal disks of brie like cheese. The 1st one was fine. Left the other 2 wrapped for maybe 9 months. Complete garbage. I suppose if I had un-packaged those, and kept them for maybe 4 - 6 weeks, they might have been as good as the 1st.
FWIW, I've never had this problem w. Camembert. The disks go dry with time, but I've never noticed ammonia from them. Or maybe the brands I've bought are wrapped so that they do breathe.

I love Brie, and have never been knocked down by ammonia funk.
Brie can get funky, expectantly so, but not to the point that it's repugnant.

Sounds like you got some stanky brie. Did you buy it in a particularly bad part of town on a particularly bad street corner?
