If it had reached boiling point, the only bacteria to survive would be the thermoduric sporeformers (especially Bacillus and Clostridium) and they will take a long while to grow. The first changes will be at about 7-9 days - a slight gray or creamy film on the top that wasn't there before. Often it's a yeast, and this will be followed by a mold, sometimes with a bit more colour. Anything like this - discard.
