Rum Jockey
Rum Jockey is an imperial stout at 13.5 %, very strong even for the style. The current batch, launched in autumn 2026, is a collaboration with Deveroast, a roastery in nearby Botley, and is finished with its Mexican roast. Coffee leads the flavour, with a rum note alongside. It is a rebrew of an earlier Rum Jockey of the same strength and is poured on draught at the Wool House and Raven & Bine. Like all Dancing Man beers it is unfined.
