Like are sucrose/glucose are sweet because we get more energy from them, so our brains gets modded like more energy = more sweet? (I don’t know how to word this exactly) Does the taste we taste depends upon the energy that product contains?

Not directly, taste buds are little sensors that detect certain molecules they have developed through evolution because the people who ate more sugar were more likely to have children. As for the sensation of sweet as an experience is still a mystery because we still don’t understand much about consciousness.
