When does the taste of a craft beer stop changing and becomes the "definite" beer?

I know that this mainly depends on the style and the brew process (if it is clean enough and so on), but under normal circumstances........does beer stop changing its taste? This interests me because I'd like to find out if I could brew beer that is relatively constant and the same. I am planning to brew the same recipe about 3 times in a row and I want it to be the same. I know that there is a bottle conditioning period, but doesnt it really stop changing at some point?

I know this is a bit of a complicated question but this is something that has concerned me for almost a year.
Can you guys achieve consistency of taste profile or is it fairly difficult to do for a homebrewer?

Also...what would you say are the culprits that prevents homebrewers from brewing the same recipe twice producing identical beers?
 
On our level of brewing,it's hard to get identical beers every single time. but it is possible to get them pretty close with temp control,proper yeast pitch,& other parts of the process down consistently each time. It's more than just recipe,it's mostly process that creates consistency.
 
Once you have your process down, consistency is pretty easy.

Taking good care of your ingredients by proper storage, and using proper brewing techniques such as yeast management and knowing your water chemistry along with fermentation temperature control mean a consistent product.

I think that my beers are repeatable and stable.
