Default Does BBQ sauce really go bad (if refrigerated)?

I've got some BBQ sauce I made a few months ago. Do you think it can
go bad? It is a mustard based sauce from a "Smoke and Spice" recipe.
The book says it will keep 2 weeks refrigerated. Now, I know that two
weeks is conservative. But, what about say 4 months?

I've tasted it and it tastes the same as ever to me, except maybe more
vinegary.

Let me know if you think it will kill me. I have a bunch left over
and don't want to waste it. I'm firing up my WSM for the first time
in a long time over Memorial Day. I only have a 4 lb pork butt to
smoke, but it is better than nothing. (I'd like to do a lot at once
but didn't plan for it.).

Thanks for the advice in advance.

p.s. My wife thinks the sauce is fine, but then again she defrosts
meat by leaving it on the counter and eats raw cookie dough with raw
eggs in it so she isn't that worried about things going
bad...admittedly she hasn't killed me yet, so maybe she's right!
