Is the dwarven version less potent?

I've set my eyes on the drunken title too

Their the same. Basically.

Hunter's is avialable through questing and quartermasters, while Dwarven is avialable at the merchant.

Hunter's Ale is an IPA (India or Imperial Pale Ale) and as such has a very strong hops flavor. The Ascalonian Hunter's Ale has a slight bitter taste and the extra hops prevents it from turning sour on those long hunting adventures.

Dwarven Ale isn't an ale at all. It's actually a dry stout brewed with roasted unmalted barley. It's extremely dark with an almost chocolatey after taste and velvety mouthfeel: a great winter pick-me-up for the Northern Shiverpeaks.

Dwarven Ale is for real drinkers: Hunter's Ale is for Ranger pussy-drinkers.

No comment. But I fail to see that that's a bad thing...

I believe the only difference is where you get them (you can also get hunter's from the hunters in pre searing by getting bears).
