If its just deterioration of flavour then I can live with that, but if its gotten poisonous then I'll throw it out.

Sure! If it was in the freezer or refrigerator it would of been better but I don't think that its really going to hurt you. I eat and drink expired things all the time and its never hurt me. Plus thats not that far past the expiration date. It was never opened too, normally things go bad after u open them. I would make urself a small cup and see how it tastes to you. It might have lost a little bit of flavor but thats the worst. Just don't down the whole container at once. In my opinion its okay!
It will be fine, as it hasn't been opened and not been exposed to air. However try it and see how it tastes, If it taste ok, then store your openened can in the freezer and use.
answer
It wont be poisonous but it flavor might be a little weak.
it should be fine
you won't get food posing from coffee
it's just the flavor that will be affected if at all!
once opened store in the fridge to retain the flavor
It will be perfectly fine. It has not been exposed to any air so nothing has gotten into it , it has been sealed and shut the whole time so if your just now opening it than it shall be fine and it will not make you sick or anything like that unless your stomach is sensitive to coffee which I'm thinking its not. Well I hope my answer helps.
