raw sugar (liquid form)
Took some looking up for this, but 黒糖 is also written 黒砂糖、which is raw, unrefined sugar. The following links show how they're connected in the Infoseek dictionary.
The 液 part just makes it liquid form.

molasses
I think this is referring to molasses. It is commonly available in North America, but not readily available in Japan, as far as I know. I think people primarily use it in baking.

muscovado syrup
--- Molasses (Japanese: 糖蜜) is a viscous "byproduct" of the processing of sugar cane or sugar beets into sugar.
--- The accurate English definition of 黒砂糖 is "muscovado" (although it is casually known as "brown sugar).
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/黒砂糖
黒砂糖(くろざとう)とは、サトウキビの絞り汁を煮詰めて作る黒褐色の砂糖である。甘味料として用いる。別名に黒糖(こくとう)、マスコヴァド (英: muscovado) や、産地の奄美大島から称される大島糖(おおしまとう)などがある。
黒砂糖をbrown sugarと訳している和英辞典もあるが、これは多少糖蜜を残して精製した三温糖や赤砂糖、主にコーヒー用に用いる結晶状のコーヒーシュガーなどのことである。

---Here is a website for “Mayfair – the ingredients experts” featuring many types of sugars some of which are muscovado syrups:

--- Muscovado syrup has a special flavor and used as an ingredient in cooking, baking, mixing drinks, etc. Here it talks about using it for mixing drinks:

To my palate, the Muscovado syrup seems a little strong for most ingredients. It works best with a punchy whiskey, like a bonded rye, so I’ve been saving it primarily for Old Fashioneds and other whiskey cocktails. It occurs to me, though, that I haven’t played with it in a daiquiri. With the right rum, that might be worth trying.
