I did a JAO years back, I don't think I even had a hydrometer at that point so I can't give you numbers but it was BONE dry, and took quite a bit of aging for it to be drinkable. However, after I tucked a bottle away and forgot about it, it turned out really nice.

Fatbloke's got something there, my starting gravities for a JAO are usually over 1.125 and they finish around 1.025 so bread yeast can usually only manage around a .100 drop, maybe a little more if it really really likes you ;D
