It have been forgotten on my kitchen for +3 years and it's already 1 year after expiration date. I decided to open it today to see if it's still good for anything and found it in this deep dark color. I don't think it's spoiled because of that but definitely it's not in it's prime fresh red color. Wanted to know you guys opinion (probably gonna toss away)

It’s fine, this stuff predates refrigeration. Dark color may be valued for extra fermentation points.
Dayum that’s extra dark. It looks like blood
You could probably repair damaged asphalt with that
I would not eat it. It should have a paste texture and I feel like the cliffs on the pictures look like it may be off.
Check like an inch deeper and see if it’s normal color
Do the smell twst, if it smells spicy you good.
Mine looks like that too 😂

Does it go bad?
gochujang is one of those things thats PROBABLY fine forever but for 5 bucks a tub not really worth testing.
Doesn’t go bad. We’ve used it after 5 years. Color is due to oxidation. But there’s so much salt in there that nothings going to grow
