  We study the asymptotic behavior of the $N$-dimensional colored Jones
polynomial evaluated at $\exp(\xi/N)$ for a real number $\xi$ greater than a
certain constant. We prove that, from the asymptotic behavior, we can extract
the $\rm{SL}(2;\mathbb{C})$ Chern--Simons invariant and the Reidemeister
torsion twisted by the adjoint action both associated with a representation
determined by $\xi$.
