Default Old film - speed and dev time

I just discovered the end of a brick of 120 Delta 100 in France, dated Jun 2013. Summers are warm here and they were in a fridge turned off in our absence.
Any recommendations on film speed adjustment? And a suggested dev time in Rodinal?

Treat as normal, if it got too warm it'll have a lot of fogging. I kept outdated HP5 in our apartment in Turkey for a few years in a drawer and there were no issues. Delta 100 should be a little more tolerant.

I go along with what has been said. I have developed lots of out of date film over the years stored in lot of questionable conditions without trouble. The main thing with old film is that it is in original unopened condition. If it has been opened then risk there is a greater risk of speed loss.
