Lemon-pine but also quite bitter and resinous. Gets more dank as time goes by.

Toffee, bourbon.

Cask-poured, complex with citrus and a somewhat marked transition to herbal, vegetal bitterness.

Perfect temperature, just cooler than lukewarm, barely fizzy, herbaceous hops and strong bitterness but in great balance.

Pilsner-like, but with a maltier, bitter bite. Just on the edge of skunky, but where it landed it's not bad.

Not terrible, but really not a hop flavor profile I enjoyed. Herbal and acrid, with a sweet character, this was somehow light and dank at the same time. The bitterness lingered a long time.

Definitely based on the Bavarian mold, the main flavors are banana and then kind of a musty plum-like sourness but overall the flavor is more watery than I would like. Maybe a faint hint of clove. Less sour, less watery, we'd probably have a good middle of the road example of the style.

This was really delicious; a strong, forward, almost metallic bitterness that creates a stiff backbone against which the rest of the flavors (caramel, hop) sparkle. A lot of the flavors I recognize from cask bitters in the UK but more focused; less pungent; worked in its favor.

Extremely mild, opens like a watery bitter with vaguely peachy and slight buttery/caramel flavors. Finishes with a bit of yeasty funk, slightly tacky in the throat.

A strongly piney-floral opening, with some good hop flavor. Drifts pretty quickly into strong bitterness, though. Not super-easy to finish.

Starts with a smooth oatmeal stout character, but very quickly turns ashy. Over-roasted for sure - at least for the style. It wasn't exactly bad, but I wasn't enjoying it a whole lot.

Low-carbonation; even if this wasn't cask it was similarly (not) bubbly. Very much tasted like an English cask-poured IPA, with a bitter, rooty, resinous hop flavor right on the tongue. Within that context, pretty good, but I've had a lot of Machine House I've liked better.

A proper English pub bitter. Very well done beer. Warning: Very bitter.

The hop profile here seems much more west coast than Machine House's typical English bent. Citrus, lots of pith on the finish. Plenty of dankness, but no real earthiness, and the malt is only kind of faintly present. With these flavors, the near-total flatness was off-putting as well.

My favorite of the night wasn't a Belgian at all! This was pungent with a cereal sweetness. Like wet grass on the side of a muddy trail after a spring rain, but in a good way. Hints of vegetal honey. Perfect on cask.

Yes.

Smells like a good ginger beer. Flavor is a mix of that with beer character coming in through a kind of vegetal & slightly skunky hop aroma with some herbal dryness. Not bad at all, although it certainly is something fit for a specific mood. Cask conditioning suits it well.

Super interesting! Lots of flavors going on, but it wasn't muddy or unclear. Definitely a lot of spices and solid floral hoppiness. I wouldn't want to drink a whole glass, but I am glad I tried it. Very different, very interesting.

Pleasant. Good bitterness, not resinous.
