It is a milk stout, but there's a catch. Like all examples of the style, it's sweetened with unfermentable lactose sugar and bears many of the flavor hallmarks we come to expect from such a beer: a coffee-like roastiness, a licorice-like snap, and chocolatey aromatics.
But here's the thing: it looks like a pale ale. Faction calls it a white chocolate milk stout. They've accomplished this act of visual wizardry by omitting the dark barley that gives stouts their color and chocolatey, coffee-like, licoricey roastiness, and replacing it with ingredients that emulate the missing flavors. In this case, we're talking about TCHO cacao nibs, coffee from Roast Co., and star anise.
It's a little hard to comprehend. It's a true anomaly in this world of the unexpected.
A tasty, tasty anomaly.

I guess that makes me bi-curious?
