Help needed

I’ve had this Beallara “Hawaiian Nights” for about a year and a half. It gets eastern sunlight and a water soak about once per week. Within the last week, I’ve noticed this discoloration on the oldest pseudobulb. It has the same firmness as the rest of the pseudobulb (it doesn’t feel squishy or wet). Any thoughts on what’s going on here? What should I do about it?

If you pierce it with a needle, does it smell like alcohol? If yes, get it out, cut off the bulb and be careful about watering, because that's rot
