Why might DMS become more apparent toward the end of a keg?

I brewed a keg of witbier for a wedding, and when I tasted it initially, as well as at the wedding, I did not notice a prominent DMS note. I am now drinking a glass and the DMS is nearly overwhelming. This is the very last bit of a keg that was kept warm for a day or so after the wedding.

Does exposure to oxygen increase the presence of DMS? The keg was dispensed with CO2, but there is always some O2 picked up on transfer, I suppose.

I think the heat maybe accentuated the smell.

But, DMS can also be from biological contamination. Considering that the keg was warmer, the bugs would have been in a better environment.
