How long can it last in frozen block state? Forever?

A year or so fine. Really depends on when you decide you
dont like the taste anymore and thats a very personal thing.

Nothing lasts forever, including you |-)

I find that milk frozen for more than a couple of weeks may (some-
times but not always) curdle upon being defrosted. Curdle means the
protein separates out as a gluggy jelly floating around in a watery-
looking liquid (whey).
It is still edible, and I use it, but I wouldn't offer it to any
guest as "milk".
I haven't been able to determine how to prevent this from sometimes
happening. (The milk I refer to here in Oz is homogenised full cream
milk.)

let it completely thaw and then shake it up.. it re homogenizes.
