Is there a way to obtain a list (possibly with descriptions) of all the casks installable with Homebrew Cask?

You can use the --casks flag in brew search to "display all locally available casks". $ brew search -h Usage: brew search [options] [text|/text/] Perform a substring search of cask tokens and formula names for text. If text is surrounded with slashes, then it is interpreted as a regular expression.
brew provides commands for getting common types of information out of the system. brew list shows installed formulae. brew deps foo shows the dependencies that foo needs. Additional commands, including external commands, can of course be written to provide more detailed information.
brew tap adds more repositories to the list of formulae that brew tracks, updates, and installs from. By default, tap assumes that the repositories come from GitHub, but the command isn't limited to any one location. Follow this answer to receive notifications.
The new way to list all installable cask packages is:
brew search --casks
The man page for brew has the following information:
search --casks
Display all locally available casks (including tapped ones). No online search is performed.

Brew search now has a --desc flag.
This lists all of them with the description:
brew search --casks --desc '' If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
