Dense black oily substance (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tar

(Other definitions for tar that I've seen before include "Thick, black and sticky liquid" , "Informal sailor, the rat" , "Dark viscous stuff" , "Smoker's black deposit" , "A sailor; a preservative" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
