Dark stains in attic

I saw these stains at several areas in an attic. They are not from condensation. No apparent odor to them and I was not in the mood to taste them. I'm thinking it is asphalt or something leaching out of the moisture barrier on the insulation. I think I have seen this in the past, but not often. Any thoughts?

Looks like you've hit the nail on the head.
