Hi,
The dark molasses is the old glue that is in the gun that was "cooked" I don't think the tool is burnt out. I would take a shot at pushing sticks into the gun while it is heated up until the glue that comes out of the tip turns clear. Then the gun should now be "cleaned"
Then unplug it, so that it cools down. After it is cooled , you will be able to remove the old dried up goo from around the tip so that it is completely clean.
WARNING: DO NOT IMMERSE THE GUN IN WATER
The gun is not really designed to be disassembled and cleaned.
The next time you use it, it should be fine.
Hope this helps,
Mark
