It's a Milk Stout. Yep, a milk stout. They use cocoa nibs, coffee star of anise and lactose for the flavors. I had to try it.
I have to say, I wouldn't drink it often, but I would drink a pint. It's smooth, creamy and chocolately/silky without the roasted flavor of your typical stout - even the milk stouts I've tried. Aside from the taste, what really throws you with the appearance was the heavy chocolate and coffee nose on this beer. It really is an anomoly, but I found it to be pretty tasty. I wonder if true stout fans would feel the same...
