Just to clarify, espresso drinks only have 2oz of espresso in them. A latte or cappucino have slightly less caffeine than the equivalent amount of coffee. I always cracks me up when people think their cappucino wakes them up better than coffee.
Now a red-eye is a shot of espresso dropped into a cup of coffee, and that does have more caffeine...
And the beer tasting sweet isn't totally unexpected, Kona coffee is definitly sweeter than many other coffees. And since that sweetness isn't sugar, it probably didnt ferment away.
