For a tutorial on just what milk stout is, refer to a recent IGB review:

This black beauty pours a impenetrable black with a frothy beige head. Coffee, toffee, vanilla, caramel & chocolate all battle for dominance. At only 12 IBU's, the hop bitterness is all but absent, very different from their Bully Porter. The lactose imparts a sweetness that melds well with the creaminess from the rolled oats. Overall a fine example of the style.
